I could do with some advice.

I changed my mobile network provider. Ported my existing number. It works except the number the eSim came with shows up instead of my ported number when I make calls and send texts. I did i network reset and restarted the phone, but that did not fix the problem.

Any ideas or suggestions? Galaxy s23 phone. Thanks.

I managed to score a good deal on a good phone. My last phone lasted me well over five years. Hopefully this one will do the same.

Because of @RiversideBryan and his wonderful photos, I got an S23 on interest-free credit. Yup, photodon (is that a thing?) has got me into photos because y'all are amazing artists and I wanna try too!

Unrelatedly, here be an photos.
