Hello, dear readers of the KtoNaNovenkogo.ru blog.
Have you decided to give contacts to a new friend, register for some service or top up your mobile account, but can’t remember your own phone number?
This is not a problem, even if you don’t have the plastic carrier on hand that was issued when you purchased a new SIM card.
There are several proven ways to get out of an awkward situation and find out a forgotten combination of numbers in a matter of seconds.
Simple ways to find out your cell phone number
There are several very simple ways that allow you to quickly find out your mobile phone number.
- First of all, you can call any person who is nearby and rewrite the treasured combination of numbers. It’s convenient if you have two phones from different operators, in which case no one’s help is needed, you can just call your second number. It is worth considering that such a call cannot be made if you are using a smartphone with two SIM cards. When using one operator, the second network is temporarily blocked.
- You can see your phone number on the starter package. Most users keep them for a long time. But this method is only available when the person is at home, since hardly anyone carries SIM card packaging with them. This method is best if there is no access to the SIM card itself, for example, it is installed in the modem.
- Another option is to call the operator and ask to dictate your number. Contacts of the Subscriber Support Center are available on the operator’s official website. Alternatively, you can go to the customer service center closest to your home and ask to dictate your number.
In most cases, you can find out the necessary information using the above methods. But if for some reason this fails, then there are other options for each of the operators.

Find out the number using instant messengers
If any instant messengers are registered to the phone number, then the information can also be easily found out. To do this, click on the user name and look at all the data.
In addition, the necessary information is also in the settings. Here you can see all the contact information that was specified when registering in the system.
- Here click on the three dots, which are located in the upper right corner. Thanks to this, they go to “Settings”, here they touch their nickname. The necessary information is located on the very last line;
- Click the “More” section (active button in the lower right corner). The contact is displayed under the avatar and nickname;
- Click the main menu - these are three bars in the upper left corner. The contact will be visible at the very top.
You can find out the coveted number using another method. It is enough to send one of your family or friends a request in the messenger, asking for the required phone number. Typically, this method of clarifying information takes no more than 5 minutes.
Advice
Do you often forget your own phone? To have constant access to it and quickly view the data you are interested in, you need to:
- Find out the number.
- Open the contacts section on your phone.
- Proceed to create a new message.
- Select the contact name "Me" or "My Mobile".
- Enter your phone number in the special line.
- Click the save button.
If you forgot your phone again, go to contacts and view it in the created entry. This is a simple tip that will save you time.
Method for Android
Owners of smartphones running the Android operating system can easily find out their phone number. To do this you need:
- go to the mobile device menu;
- then go to settings;
- there select “Phone information”;
- Here you select the “Status” subsection, where the necessary information is indicated.
It is worth considering that the names of the items may differ slightly depending on the version of the operating system that is installed. Sometimes it happens that the number is not visible. This mainly happens if the SIM card was reissued or changed in the operator’s salon.
This is due to the fact that company employees copy all the encryption keys and other important information onto the new card, but they forget about the cell with their number and it remains blank.
What to do if your last name is not in your personal account?
If in your MTS-Russia personal account, when you log in using your phone number, your last name, first name and patronymic are not indicated, then there are two solutions.
- You received a number from your passport and you have an agreement: contact MTS support service and describe the problem indicating the agreement number.
- You received a number without a passport: you will have to buy a new starter package and link to it all your accounts on social networks, e-mail, electronic wallets, in general, in all services where you indicated your number, and replace it with a new one. After this, you can also try to resolve the issue with technical support.
I repeat that this case is more dangerous than the next one, because... your number can be blocked at any time and you can lose all your accounts that are linked to this number.
Methods for iPhone
Owners of Apple devices can also quickly find out their phone number. There are several ways to do this.
- Click the Settings icon, then select the Phone section and then the My number subsection (it is at the very top).
- Go to the home menu, then select Phone, and then Contacts (this line is also the top).
- In iTunes, select the Devices section, then click Summary and Phone Number.
If necessary, you can quickly find out the number of the SIM card installed in the iPad (with 3G/4G). To do this, go to the settings and then select the “Number for cellular data” section. An alternative is to put the card in your iPhone and make a call to a friend, who will then dictate the combination of numbers.
How to find out your number for a tablet
If the SIM card is inserted into the tablet, then you can find out the number by placing the SIM card in the phone. But if necessary, this can be done in a simpler way. Each operator has provided a special USSD command to obtain such data.
- MTS subscribers can dial the combination *111*10# on their device. After a few seconds, a message arrives containing the necessary information. You can also send an SMS message to 0887 with any text. In response, you will receive a message containing the necessary data.
- Beeline clients can use the Beeline USB modem application. Here go to the Account Management section and select My Number. Click on the “Find out number” button and wait for an SMS message with SIM card data.
- On a tablet with a Tele2 SIM card, it’s also easy to find out the necessary information. The easiest way is to dial the USSD request *201# and click on the call button. After all the manipulations, the required number will be displayed on the screen. This option is available to all subscribers of the Tele2 operator.
- MegaFon subscribers can view the information by dialing *205#. After a couple of seconds, the required numbers will appear on the phone screen.
To avoid problems with your number, after purchasing a SIM card, it is recommended to write it down on a piece of paper and put it in your bag. If necessary, this will allow you to quickly dictate all the data.

We receive data by numbers
Another common situation is when the user is confused about who the SIM card is issued to. It changed hands so many times that it became difficult to establish who the owner was. Perhaps this number was purchased without concluding a contract on the street, in the passage. You should beware of such people and do not purchase cards from them. This is how scammers operate. When using such a SIM card, at the time of replenishing the balance, part of the funds will go into someone else’s pocket.
Well, if you simply forgot whose Sim you have in your hands, there are several ways to check:
- The simplest method. It requires an active Internet connection. Each Tele2 number is linked to a personal account. Log in. If a password is set and you don't know it. Click on the create a new password button. A message with a security code will be sent to your phone. Enter it in the appropriate line and you will be logged in. The main menu contains information about the owner of the number. If this is not your last name and first name, it is advisable to find the true holder and negotiate with him about re-registration.
- The My Tele2 mobile application provides access to your personal account in a similar way as in the previous paragraph. After authorization, you will see the necessary data.
- Contact a private detective agency for assistance. For a small fee, your question will be answered in a short time.
- If you have lost your phone and SIM card along with it, then using one number you can request information from the police. This is very important, because suddenly you will be the owner.
Attention! If the SIM is registered to another person, if the phone is lost or stolen, you will not be able to return it or restore it.
