Problem: In the messaging app (SMS) there is no picture of "Me". It's just a grey rectangle with a white border.

Solution: Your phone number is not stored in your SIM Card. You need to put your SIM Card in a phone that allows you to alter you "personal phone number" (usually a setting found under 'special numbers' then something like 'my phone number'). Use an old phone!
