Nmber is top right of the reverse side of the Smart card that the actual sim presses out of. You need need to decipher the actual number slightly. Effectively you need the last 9 digits -preceded by +639

or google your phone model for the key sequence that will tell you your number - it varies by phone model.

Bad news is that the sim may need to have been activated for roaming in PI - but I forgot to do that last week & it is still worked in Hong Kong, China & now in UK.

my phone number starts in 0921, so what no should she start with when sending me a message? Or will it work if I send her a message and she relies to it?

Edit: Actually, I think I've sussed it now as I think the '9' is the end part of the '639', so it's 0063, then the rest of my number after that. Annoyingly, everytime I send a text, the phone freezes/locks up and you can't do anthing but take the battery out, then start up the phone again! Then I find that the message hasn'r gone or been saved, so I have to type it all again, click send and it freezes all over again! Grgghh!
