    Connect your phone to Itunes and it lets you change from there but that shouldn't effect internet etc i think.

    I'd connect to itunes & restore as a new phone if you havnt already, best to make a fresh start overall

    See that number is attached to sim so it should display the right number, did by any chance you ported your Number to meteor recently?

    Two solution:
    1) If you seem to know anyone has sony ericsson phone then put your sim into that phone and change number from there and put it back into iPhone, i am not sure about other phone but Most sony ericsson have this feature.

    2) Go to meteor shop and explain them they can give you new sim witch your number attached to it.

    That's the problem, You need a new Sim or help from meteor.New sim should sort out the problem.
