Finding hidden configurations in a gui morass is annoying.  Not
knowing anything about any of these applications, this is what I'd
try:

  $ sudo grep -r 503-xxx-yyyy /etc | less

and/or

  $ cd ~
  $ grep -r 503-xxx-yyyy . | less

where 503-xxx-yyyy is the expiring phone number.  Figure out which is
the right file, then:

  $ vi <that-filename>

and change the phone number to the new one.
