We'd need more info about those specific contacts with which the issue is occurring since it's not impacting everyone calling, etc. Info such as which specific phones they are using, who their provider is, etc. If you can get that info, feel free to post here or reach out to our Mobility team and they can troubleshoot with you!
It looks like the issue is happening with contacts also on Telus. Our other phone is on Rogers and is seeing the correct number. Those on Telus are seeing the first number.

Isn't the number coming in from the network? Not sure why the device itself will pick a number that is not stored on those devices. As soon as I received the SIM, I ported the number from Koodo. We never used the assigned number from Telus to call or text anyone. It was active for no more than half an hour.
