Hello,
I have a new LG Optimus 7 phone (LG-E900h) in Canada that's connected to the Telus network.
This phone came pre-installed with Windows Phone 7.5.
This may seem like a very simple question, but I've spent over 2 hours looking through the phone and on the web to try and figure out if there's anywhere on the phone itself to tell you what this phone's actual cell phone number is. I couldn't find it anywhere!
The only way I can find out my own phone's number is to log into my Telus account on the web to view my account information. This is rediculous. Since I don't phone myself and I may lend my phone to my wife or other family members, if someone asks them for their phone number, often people can't remember it. Then the first thing you think of is "It must be in the phone itself somewhere, right?" and you go hunting through all the menus, settings, etc... but it's nowhere to be found!
Can anyone tell me where in Windows Phone 7.5 does it show your own phone's actual cell number?
--------
when I go to Settings > Applications (pivot item) > phone, there is no "My phone number". Here's what I see in the Settings > Phone screen:
Voicemail number : (a full phone number to my voicemail number, which is different than my actual cell phone number because I have to dial into this voicemail number to hear my voice messages)
Show my called ID to: (and a drop down menu of choice of: everyone, no one, my contacts
Call forwarding: (a toggle button on/off)
International assist: (a toggle button on/off)
Turning on this feature will help automatically correct some common mistakes while dialing internationally or dialing while abroad.
Sim security: (a toggle button on/off)

I am using Telus in Canada. I just talked to someone that has a Windows Phone 7.5 on a Samsung Focus and they are with the Rogers network also in Canada (same city in fact) and he says the very first line of his Settings > Phone shows his own cell phone number.
I'm beginning to think that this screen is dependant on the SIM card inserted into the phone itself or is dependant on the features the network carrier actually provides to the phone and it is not part of the software to show it or not.
This is very troubling as you would think that if you forget (since when you're new or don't call your own number or give it out much) you might want to quickly look it up on a screen in the phone itself.
Please help me understand how or why this feature is not there. Is it dependant on what is coded inside the SIM card itself? Or if the network carrier has to activate this feature for you?
