[APP][XPOSED] SIM Number Setter

[Quinny899]

SIM Number Setter​

SIM Number Setter is a small Xposed module that invokes normally unused Android System code to set the "subscriber number" on the device's SIM card. This is the number displayed in the system settings, and used in apps such as Google Messages, as well as being available to third party apps with sufficient permissions.

The number is not always set by carriers (leaving "Unknown"), or can be lost or invalid after porting a number to a different SIM.

This small app allows you to fix it, permanently, using a rooted device with Xposed.

If you don't have a rooted device, or don't want to root your main device, you may wish to consider rooting an old device, and temporarily putting your SIM into that device, using this app, and then putting it back in your main device - the fixed number will travel with it

There are some older Xposed modules that do similar things to this, but they are all abandoned and use methods that will no longer work with changes to the platform since then. This module should keep working regardless as it does not store the number locally at all, instead immediately invoking the change - allowing the app to be uninstalled after use too.

Important Notice​

Changing the SIM number is semi-permanent: the number change will survive reboots, uninstalling this app, even switching the SIM to a different device, but can be changed again at any time using this app.

SIM Number Setter does NOT:

• Change your actual phone number, no matter what you enter. You must contact your carrier if you wish to port your number or switch network.
• Unblock a network blocked SIM.
• Give you free data or calls.
• Change your IMEI.

SIM Number Setter uses the built-in Android methods to write data to the SIM. The app nor the developer are not responsible for issues with the process, including any damage to the SIM or network issues.

It works perfectly fine with LSposed too!!

 

[rgavioli]

Thanks a lot!

Ohh, FFS! If you have dual SIM, just switch them, change its number and switch them back! Not a big deal!

@Quinny899 Thanks for this! Is there a defined format in which the phone number should be entered? For example, +[Country Code][10 Digit Mobile Number], or 00[Country Code][10 Digit Mobile Number], something like that?

Anything should work, so long as it's 20 chars or less and uses only numbers or +

works perfectly as described, in case of dual SIM just temporarily change the position to SIM1

Doesn't work for me, unfortunately. Could be because of OxygenOS (read all the issues, open and closed, in your GitHub repository and checked everything) but I'm not sure. Thanks nonetheless!

There's a report on GitHub of someone with a phone that came with MIUI doing the same thing, I suspect there's something different on those devices. Not a lot I can do without having the device to debug, as the logs don't show anything.

I really wish I could change that sim number. Man....

Such a bummer.

Make sure the module is enabled on LSposed.
Also, make sure Phone services is selected at the module.

Reboot your device and try again.

I've tested on Samsung S20, Xiaomi Mi11i and it works fine.

LSposed 1.7.2 (6379)

You could try cleaning the data from this app.

Thank you for this. I just ported my Mobile Number to another network and got a unknown number on about phone.

Just a question. Is the write procedure single use?
Can you re-write the field if you transfer numbers, or misstype, or, or or?

You can rewrite it as many times as you like, though I'd recommend trying to keep usage low as I doubt SIMs are designed for this data to be rewritten often. If you make a typo you can fix it though.
