How do I rename a phone tile to display a phone number?

Rename phone tile to display phone number

I would like to display the phone number on the live tile in the start menu. I couldn't find the info anywhere. My phone has two SIM cards and I would like the two tiles to display the respective numbers or at least say "Personal" and "Work". Thanks!!

It is my impression that they do display as Phone 1 and Phone 2, Messaging 1 and Messaging 2.

Are your tiles smallest? Maybe expand them.

If you have Live Folders you can tuck Phone 1, Messaging 1 and your fave email into a folder and label it Personal. Ditto the 2 versions and label the Live Folder as Work.

Thanks for your suggestion. I guess that would work. It is a shame one cannot rename and customize the tile.

Update: My wife grabbed the phone and figured it out in 30 seconds. Here is how you do it:

1> Go to Settings
2> Cellular+SIM
3> SIM 1 settings
4> SIM Name << Home or whatever you want, provider name, or whatever>>

Done!!
