Number transfer

Do none of the networks actually transfer a number anymore? It seems as if a phone(sim card) keeps a number but the network adds your number over the top of it.

Doesn't really make any difference apart from my Android smartphone wants to verify my number and always suggests the sim cards native number which I have to change
