You can't.

My Ion shows the same thing. More importantly, though, my
retail-purchased G1 shows the phone number originally associated with
the SIM, before my existing T-Mobile number was ported to this account.
Hence, the number the SIM reports to Android is incorrect.

For any given device, given enough fussing, you can probably score a SIM
that reports the proper number. Generically, though, you cannot assume
the SIM-reported number is indeed accurate.
