Finding my phone number on my phone.

Did a deal of digging and finally found it.  Its under Address Book - My numbers

--------------------------

                   In all seriousness, have you tried to call to another phone that has caller ID? What comes up?

Thanks youngjm - Your suggestion to look under "contacts" was essentially correct, except it was "address book"

 

I know my number (now) but calling another phone with caller id just isn't practical under most circumstances I'm thinking of.  Finding my number is the most common problem I encounter, not just me either.  When you ask someone for their cell number you get "I don't know, let me check"  fumble fumble press press press "can't find it - wait a minute." press press fumble fumble. You get the picture.  We call our land line phone all the time when we are away from home, so knowing this is crucial. 

 

But how often do you call yourself using your own cell phone?  I don't - so I don't have the number memorized (yet).

This should be a standardized thing -  its the first and most important thing I want to know when I first get a new cell phone (this is only my third).  Its the first thing others want to know when you get a new cell phone - "give me your number".

 

Enough rant --- just a little more 😉  does any company/provider make a cell phone and sell just a phone service   -  not a phone/email surfer/text messager/movie player/music player/computer with ringtones and games and graphics and multi media?  All I want is a phone - no special features, no backgrounds, no fancy annoying ringtones, no miniatured version of the web - just a phone.  Why do we need a bleeping operating system just to make a bleeping phone call?  (don't get me started on the auto industry 😉 )

 

Seriously, though, - does anyone make such a phone and provide such a service?

Thanks Blue4 life. 

 

Hey AT&T - this is my number one question with every phone i've ever had - why is this answer number 25 on the list?
