Display My Phone Number

[Kohdiak]

I just got my Mogul from sprint and so far I'm very happy with it. I have what I'm sure is a noob question, but I've look everywhere and have not been able to find an answer.

When i'm in the Phone screen, if I go to the menu, and select "My phone Number" it shows [ (000)000-####] the # signs are actually 4 digits that are not part of my phone number. Can someone tell me how to get my true phone number to show?

Does it show if you go under Settings, to Owner Information? I can't remember if I filled that in, or if it was there.

Yes it show there, I was able to fill that in myself. It does not show if I go to "settings", "Phone", it gives the same odd number as before at the top of the screen.

on your dialer, type in ##768# and see what it says under "mobile number"

You know, I have never had any of those codes work. I type them in and it does nothing.

You have to bring up the phone app and "dial" ##768#.

Thats really strange. Are you using a custom dialer?

Well you could try making a link to \Windows\EPST.exe ##768

if that doesnt work change the shortcut to \Windows\EPST.exe -##768

Right. I do. I am using the stock dialer with no skin. Stock ROM 2.09 ( just recently got the Mogul and haven't gotten around to 2.17).

I go to the phone and dial those numbers and nothing happens. If I do that and then hit 'talk' it obviously doesn't work because then it tries to dial an invalid number.

Hmm... I have no idea why it wouldn't work... When did you get your mogul? Maybe Sprint's being sneaky and disabling access to EPST...

Anyway, follow the steps above regarding making the shortcut. There is actually a shortcut to EPST right after the main exe in the \Windows directory. Copy it to you storage card or something, and edit the target adding the ##768# to the end.

It should look like this:
\Windows\EPST.exe ##768

if that doesnt work, try
\Windows\EPST.exe -##768

and if neither work, put them in double quotes (but you should have to...)

You probably only need to type in the proper code which is ##778# not ##768#



You can then select View, then click the bottom left 'View Info', switch to Nam Settings page, and your phone # should appear next to Mobile directory Number
