worked for me..
Thanks, Did you do that process of removing your SIM and putting it into a nother phone?
yeah that whole turning off thing didnt seem right since the phone would have been off network for a least 5 mins with all the time we spend travelling in tubes every day. So used my old SE K800i (thank god i didnt burn it like i was gonna)
go into Contacts --> Options -> Special Numbers -->My Numbers -> My Mobile and just edit it in there.. I used 0xxxxxxxxxx and it appears in iTunes/at the top of my contact list and in >>Settings --> Phone at the top bit in there.
that N/A in iTunes was seriously giving me a twitch every time i saw it.

Yeah, apparently for "security" reasons O2 don't store your own numbers on the SIM card, that's what I've read. This bit may be wrong though!
I've sorted mine out - I put my SIM into my old phone (iMate Pocket PC), opened SIM Manager and inputted my number manually.
Hey Presto - it's now at the top of contacts (although annoyingly formatted "XXXXX - XXXXXX), in Settings>Phone, and in iTunes!

You sure? Just tried it on iphone (vodaphone), N95 (Orange), 6210 (Orange) and all 3 worked immediately.

OK scrap that! It shows up at the top of Contacts, and in Settings>Phone, but NOT in iTunes!!
EDIT: It's now MAGICALLY appeared in iTunes as well, 2 days after I did the SIM thing in another phone. Crazy!
Nope, I tried that one the other day when someone was asking about own number. It's carrier specific.
Only played with an N95 for a short while but try:
Contacts/Options/SIM contacts/SIM directory/Options/My numbers/
should be option in there for you to edit "My Number" but don't quote me on that.
will try to see if i can get my hands on one today to verify that for ya.
I tryed that and it didn't work, when ever I go into "my number" it says no data.

Yeah I got it to work but really don't like the format either!
Oh well at least its there
couldnt get my hands on one today unfortunately. Maybe you can find a friend with a unlocked SE phone and do it that way. steps will be the same. and u only need do it once.
Sorry couldnt be more help
