iPhone does not save my-number

When I put my correct number into 'Settings/Phone/My number', the save button does not work.

Currently there is a nonsense number in it that the phone was able to save, but my real number does not work. I stored the number with +31 ... as country extension. But also 0... does not work. Is that field not supposed to have a phone number? If not, what kind of number should it I put there? Social security number probably not?

iPhone 7, iOS 15

Same exact problem as sarahhhj. I have restarted multiple times, reset network settings, put in and took out old physical Sim, I cannot save the 'my number' and I can't add it to 'sign in & security' under apple ID in settings because I can't receive the verification text. The phone can make and receive phone calls and call display comes up with the correct contact. Public mobile says the transferr is fine from their side.
