If your calls are going to another person instead of reaching your phone, it is likely due to a routing or forwarding issue. Here are a few possibilities:


1. Call forwarding: Call forwarding allows you to redirect incoming calls to another phone number. If you have set up call forwarding on your phone, either intentionally or by mistake, calls to your number will be forwarded to the specified number. You can check if call forwarding is enabled by going to the "Phone" settings on your iPhone and selecting the "Call Forwarding" option.


2. Incorrect number or contact settings: Ensure that you have entered your own phone number correctly in your device's settings. Sometimes, if you have mistakenly saved your number under another contact or if you have multiple entries for your number, calls may be routed to the wrong contact.


3. Network or carrier issues: In some cases, network or carrier issues can cause calls to be routed incorrectly. This could be due to technical glitches or misconfigurations on the network side. Contact your mobile service provider to report the issue and seek assistance.


4. SIM card or device problems: Faulty SIM cards or issues with your device's hardware can also result in calls being redirected to another person. Try removing and reinserting your SIM card, or test your device with a different SIM card to see if the issue persists.

No, that will have zero effect on call routing. The cellular carrier has no idea what number is in Contacts. It uses the SIM.
