Between the programming menu and something that displays a "Welcome
Banner" type thing, I don't know how to change the number. As for the
tune it plays when you start it up and turn it off...I don't think there
is a way to get rid of that other than advanced programming, which you'd
have to get a cable and try at your own risk. On my old phone, I think
setting it to silent made it quiet, but you'd have to do that all the
time just to turn off.

Bev,

That number is not the "old" number of the previous owner of the phone. That
is the number that is used to "find" the phone and make it ring in this day
and age of number portability. You have your dialable number (MDN) and what
is referred to as the MIN. The MIN is what you are seeing as your number. Do
what I did. Go into the programming again ( Menu 073887*, security code
000000, never change this) and make sure that you do not change the MIN,
leave it alone or your phone will not ring or even work. Make the MDN
(mobile dialable number) your number (this is why you saw that other number
as your number as it was blank).
