I've done that, on the suggestion of one of the Vodafone agents. It didn't
make any difference. According to Motorola (who must now be taken with a
truckload of salt, it seems) the number is fixed in the firmware that
Vodafone set up and then image onto every 525 they supply. Thus it cannot
be viewed or altered, but also cannot be wrong. The sim card is ignored.

What's your take on this story?

That's what I was hoping, as long as the phone will read it.

I didn't. It hasn't worked since I got the phone. I assumed it was the
message centre number because I had exactly the same problem with my
previous phone - came with no service centre number - except that that one
had a menu item to change it.
