How can you find out your mobile number ?

For example, I have an extra SIM card (on Orange), but unfortunately with no paperwork etc.

The only credit on there is 1p which is pretty useless.

I know I would need to top up the card but is there any way of finding the number out without (topping up) ?

    Call your home phone (if you have one), let it ring for 1 ring then hang up (on your mobile).
    Then dial 1471.

    Ta-dah! :D

    With only one pence on though I don't think he will be able to call out. Normally to make a call you have to have so much airtime on.

    Er, nearly ;)

    Thing is, I can't make a single call without topping up first.


    (not much one can do with 1p these days)

    Have a look at some options in the phone book, usually there's an option for "own number" which should tell you it.

    Or just guess. Use another phone and type in 07000000001, 07000000002.... and keep going till you find your number!

    What phone manufacturer and model is the orange sim card going in?

    I am no wizz kid when it comes to mobile phones but try this:

    Put the sim in your mobile
    Go into Menu
    Go into Contacts

    (it may be in there under My number or something of that description)

    Or if it gives you other options such as Names or My numbers

    I am on O2 and this is how I get to it directly:
    Menu
    Scroll to....
    Contacts
    Scroll to....
    My Numbers

    My Mobile number is shown in there

    Normally in the phone book, there is an option called my number

    Also depending upon what phone you have, if you go to phone details it will display the number for you.

    I have the k800i and going into phone details displays my number

    On a landlines you can ring a number and it tells you, but I cant remember the number. Just know I rang it accidentally rather than 1471.

    I think it might have been 171.

    It's a Motorola V3


    (and thanks to others who have responded so far as well) :)

    Technically the V3 isn't a mobile phone. It's a folding piece of buggy junk.

    You could try putting the sim card into the phone, switch the phone off and then switch it on again. I have a Motorola Razr and every time I switch my phone on, it displays my number for a few seconds.

    Call this. *#100# Wait 10 seconds and the number appears.

    Don't know if that's my provider or phone.

    I think that's just a Vodafone thing.

    I think you're right. I just tried it on another phone and it did not work.

    Have you tried switching the phone off, and then on with the sim card in?
