Not just locally on the device! There must be an error when calling or texting the number.
Data must work for internet for Signal, VoIP, etc.
This is for a UK PAYG SIM.
There should be no way for anyone to demand my number, or for me to leak it, or doing so should be irrelevant as it does not work.
The one I had in my hotspot did not have a phone number attached. It was provisioned by the IMSI. This plan was cheaper than using my phone as a hotspot. I assumed that there was no phone number so you couldn’t game the system by getting this cheaper deal and popping the Sim into a phone.
