When friends and family are calling me, different numbers from different countries are showing up. Is my SIM hacked? I've changed my phone.

Hello ​@Mags May W-s 

This does sound quite odd. So your friends and family contact you, but a different number shows on your handset when the call or text comes through?

Yes. I am abroad and I have asked a forum. Others using the 3 network are also facing similar issues. No idea how to fix it 😕

Probably because they are calling you via an app like what’s app, messenger or something similar rather than calling using the mobile voice network.

Hi ​@Mags May W-s 

 

@MZone raises a good point, are you receiving standard network calls and having this issue or is it a third party app like Messenger/WhatsApp?
