People's own phone number isn't where they expect to find it

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Address Book specification updated. <http://goo.gl/7dMID9>

"About This Device" specification updated. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AboutThisDevice?action=diff&rev2=35&rev1=34>

Number not even showing correctly in "About" for me.

My phone number appears on address-book-app settings.

tested on BQ r274

Tested in Ubuntu 15.04 r82; the contact isn't present as specified. Reopening.

Not working in 15.04 (r3) on MEIZU MX4:
My number is neither displayed in the about screen, nor in the address book. (Unless I put it there manually...)

The issue mentioned in the previous comment should be reported as a new bug, the feature relies on the SIM card to expose the phone number which doesn't always seems to be the case

This bug was fixed in the package ubuntu-system-settings - 0.3+15.10.20150827-0ubuntu1

---------------
ubuntu-system-settings (0.3+15.10.20150827-0ubuntu1) wily; urgency=medium

  [ Ken VanDine ]
  * Don't show the phone number in the about page, that is now provided
    by address-book-app (LP: #1364452)

  [ Robert Ancell ]
  * Use new QML package names for qml-module-qt-labs-folderlistmodel,
    qml-module-qtsysteminfo.

  [ Sebastien Bacher ]
  * [security-privacy] rename the "Lock phone" item to "Locking and
    unlocking" and do not include the screen delay as a value, it
    misleads users to think that the section is only about that where it
    also includes security options (LP: #1361127)
  * [security-privacy] use the correct access to location string (LP:
    #1388184)

  [ jonas-drange ]
  * Use wait_select_single instead of select_single to make the test
    less flaky
  * [plugin] add has-dynamic-name to allow for dynamic renaming of a
    plugin. (LP: #1475629)

@renato can you follow up on the Me contact and whether we still want it

I took over design of the Contacts app only a couple of weeks ago, and I have not had time to review the spec yet. But the “Me” contact section, at least, is still current.

The current display location is totally undiscoverable
The dialer app settings goes to the Phone screen, adding it there seems a good idea per the description
Moving it from contact settings to a Me contact is the design spec

My own phone number doesn't show up anywhere. Not in the about section and not in contacts. And it never did, not on my Meizu MX4 and not on my Nexus 5. SIM is from German provider O2 (=Telefonica).
