When a mobile or landline calls me it comes up with incorrect number. It is definitely the right number as the landline is my own! The mobile is a long time friend. What can I do to sort this, as it happens every day. Sometimes it seems to fix itself when I restart my phone but not always. I've been with Sky about 18 months and transferred my old number across (Sky had given me a new number) but it's been alright up until now.
Any ideas? TIA.

Re: Incorrect number showing when someone calls me
thanks @caesarome, have done that and I can call myself from the landline and it goes through. I will get my contact to call me and see if it's worked for him.
Appreciate you taking the time to help.
