Are you opening the Fp messaging app ?
If you are seeing someone else's number there, you should be able to logout and login with your account and password.
The number you are comparing it with, was it found in Settings>About Phone Settings? The number in the about phone section of the settings is the MDN (Mobile Directory Number). It allows sprint to provide you data services without the ability to access the 2g voice network (2g industry standard). Most phones use 2g for their voice calls. 2g is the industry Standard with all cellular Networks. Reason why phones used on Major Carriers, you can shut off data (4g/3g/Wi-Fi) and still place a call. The phones FreedomPop sale have the 2g voice turned off and then given a MDN in its place (2g number is replaced with a MDN#). They use a string of numbers that show up like a phone number. Sometimes if you call the MDN# you will get another person on the other line. It is just coincidence how the MDN# will be a phone number sometimes. With the IPhone it is in Settings>General>About Phone.
Because FreedomPop use a VOIP app or Voice Over Data, The MDN cannot be changed unless you switch to a new carrier. The MDN replaces the 2G Number a Typical carrier like Sprint, AT&T or T-Mobile would use. FreedomPop uses 4g and 3G to make and receive calls.
If you just started using your phone, you might notice that the number is not your number on the caller ID. This will change. It usually changes in the next few hours, but it can take up to 24.
To find the number on the phone, open up your FreedomPop Messaging App. Look for the 3 white horizontal bars, top left side of the app. Please click those lines. You will see a pop out from the side, with your number and account information.
With the IPhone, Open the FreedomPop Free Voice and Text app. Look for the Gear Wheel, top left corner and press. Your screen will change and you will see your name with your account information.
Let me know if you have any questions, or if your number does not match the one in the app.
Hope this helps,
