iPhone 101: What's my number?
When I activated my iPhone, I received a brand new phone number. The first time someone asked me for it, I felt a mild embarrassment. "Oops," I realized. "I don't know my own phone number."If you find yourself in this situation, don't panic. Your iPhone itself can tell you what your number is.
The first place to look is in your contacts list. Touch "Phone" then "Contacts." Scroll to the very top of the list and you'll see "My Number..."
Or, touch "Settings" and then "Phone." Your number is displayed at the top of the screen.

Perhaps the most obvious, when you plug it into iTunes it shows your number.

but you don't have access to iTunes 24/7, if you did you wouldn't need an ipod as much :D

You can also scroll all the way to the top of your contacts and it will list your number.

Ahhh... Dave! Have you forgotten the slick maneuver?
"Well give me your phone number, I'll call you and you can save it into your contacts!"
I use this any time I'm swapping numbers with someone. It saves the obvious- having to jot the number down but also verifies if I got it right and only one of us ends up punching the number!

Anyway i can change the number displayed in "My Number" because it is not my phone number.
