Alright guys i did search on here, and google before posting this thread and haven't really found an respond. Anyways my dads S3 has been acting weird lately, he lost his IMEI and we restored that and everything was fine, well a few days ago he had to travel and put the phone into airplane mode on the plane, got off the airplane and it was stuck in roaming. At that time he couldnt receive text letters, simply now he tin't send texts, receive them, brand or receive calls, etc. Well come up to observe out his MIN (Mobile identification number) somehow got inverse to a telephone number that hes never used or recognized. The S3 was bought brand new from verizon, and wasn't having whatsoever bug until recently.

So my question is i know in years past verizon phones had service menus that allowed you to manually change that number, simply i'm not sure if the S3 has that adequacy or non. The other question is if information technology doesn't is in that location anyway to get it to change back automatically? He'll exist home in a few hours and were gonna reset to stock and restore IMEI and reprovision again only incase that fixes information technology. But i wanted to ask now, so if that doesn't work, nosotros'd have a solution.

Whatever assistance volition be greatly appreciated

The MIN is not supposed to match the MTN(phone number) . They are always different.

On Verizon my MIN aforementioned equally phone number too.

Edit: from what I have been able to find it will be different if you ported your number to Verizon and volition work fine. If non ported it usually someone else's old inactive number and tin can lose data. If yous take data and call number you may get someone you don't know or will get other carrier yous ported from. Tin can't find anything on how to change. May accept to contact carrier if restore doesn't set up it.
