Phone number not showing in iTunes

That's interesting. I'm pretty sure that my Mac at home is displaying the phone number properly.

What OS are you running?

 

Are you running itunes 7.7?

 

1) Turn the iPhone on / off, reconnect to iTunes.
2) Make sure you're running iTunes 7.7
3) Backup/Restore the iPhone.


If those don't work, post back.

 

Is that a US thing?
I don't seem to have it here in London with O2.

 

I have one even better for ya!

My wife has her own 16g White Iphone, and her own Vista PC.
Her Itunes shows her phone # when phone is docked.

My 16g Black Iphone when docked on my own PC with windows Vista, doesn't show my phone #???

Now here is the kicker... I still have my OLD first gen Iphone, and when I dock it and look at Itunes, it DOES show my phone #??????

I actually have had them both docked at the same time, my old & new Iphone, and when I have Itunes open, I can switch back and forth between the 2 by chosing either one on the left hand column. New Iphone doesn't show #, Old Iphone does.

What is up with that? Especially when my wifes 3G does show her # on her Itunes?

 

I think the common factor is more likely it has to do with previously having a first gen. Iphone on the same computer/Itunes.

 

Interesting, because I noticed last night that my number didn't show, but I couldn't remember if it had in the past. 3G with iTunes 7.7 here, and I never had an original iPhone.

 

It show's my phone number. I'm running Mac OS 10.5.4, iTunes 7.7, and have the latest firmware installed on my iPhone 3G. Might be another bug of the 2.0 software.

 

^^^ Same with mine, it's all good...

 

it is to do with the sim cards

if your phone number is stored on the sim card then it will come up in iTunes and it will be shown first within contracts (iphone) as 'My Number'

-if your iPhone came with a sim card then it will have the number
-if o2 had to put a sim in your phone but the sim was not programmed with a number (universal sim) then it wont have your number
-if you upgraded but had an old sim, 2year+ then it wont show up

how i figured this out..

i was on an o2 simplicity contract for about 5months with a number that had been ported in. So my sim did not have my number stored on it, therefore it didnt show up in iTunes when i upgraded to the iPhone 3G from my American iPhone 2g.

i then tried a new pay as you go sim in it and found the number showed up

i though it might be that my sim is just old, requested o2 send me a new sim. They sent me a universal sim and said just to ring them when i received it and the would activate the sim to my number. the number did not show up in itunes with the new sim

this led me to conclude that if a number is assigned to a sim during the manufacturing process, it will appear in iTunes. if a new number is ported to that sim or the sim does not have a number assigned during manufacturing - it will not show up in itunes...

 

^^ I'm not sure what the OP's problem is, but I don't think this explains it.

 

Doesn't explain it, I had a replacement sim from my original iPhone, didn't show the number on that one, but when I upgraded and kept that sim for iPhone 3G, it shows it. I think it's more to do with whether its the only sim card that been in the phone. When I change the sim in the phone it doesn't show its own number at all then.

 

If you use another phone, like a sony erricson there is a setting to type the line number of your sim card. I did enter that information before I put it in my new iPhone 3g, although it didn't show when I put it in my old iPhone.

 

WHO CARES??? haha

 

2 iphones, my iphone does not show the number, my wife's does (both in itunes and in contacts)

the only difference is that my number was ported over from sprint and her's was a new at&t number....

not a big deal tho...

 

my iphone does not show my number. When I first connected my iPhone to the computer it asked me if I wanted to restore it from a backup which I pressed yes but what I restored it from was my old 1st gen iPhone with a another number.

 

if you can, how to you view your own number on your iphone?

 

i must have an abnormal phone - nothing there!

EDIT: here is some more info WHERE it should appear:

As i read, this feature is for our US buddies. Can any UK people chime in if they do have their number?

 

I have my number show up on my iTunes and throughout the menus in the phone.

(From UK, on O2 contract)

I have had a number show up when I unlocked my old phone as well. But only with one specific number otherwise it wouldn't show the number.
