phone number still showing up even after reset

[two_cents]

am I missing something? I formatted internal/ SD/ did factory reset of the phone which usually gives you the please dial #228 message but my phone number is still appearing in the phone settings under phone identity .. how do I clear the radio information on a rooted phone? on a regular phone you just factory reset and when you reboot you have to activate the phone again... any ideas?

Good question, when I did a complete unroot and back to stock, my number still showed up as well, so I don't think it's root that is the issue. There has got to be some way to clear the radio settings, but I'm not sure of it.

When you said factory reset, did you go to into the bootloader and do a Clear Storage?

will this have any effect on when I sell the phone? they will not have any problem when they go to activate it will they? when they give the ESN to the vzw tech then they dial #228 the phone will activate under their number correct?
I cleared data/cache/dalvik/ and did a factory reset from the sd card/ storage menu
