How to find out a phone number on a tablet

Some people, especially older people, find it completely impossible to remember their phone number. And sometimes you end up with such a confusing set of numbers that even young users get lost. Then they think like this - I don’t have to remember the number - let the people who call me know it.

But there are times when you need to know your phone number. For example, when you pay for communication services, or want to leave your contacts to someone. How to recognize it when you really need it? The answer is in the article.

How to find out the number on an Android tablet

On tablets with the Android operating system, the user enters the phone number manually in the settings when installing the SIM card for the first time. This action is optional. Therefore, only if you have done this before can you find out the treasured numbers.

There are several more ways:

1. The simplest and most reliable is to simply put the card in your phone and make a call to someone you know.
2. The other involves connecting to the Internet. After connecting, launch your browser and go to the website of your telecom operator. You open your personal account, receive complete information: tariff name, account status, connected options and others.

Important! All actions described above are possible only with a positive balance. If the traffic is exhausted, then you should use the Wi-Fi network.

There is another way - dialing a voice command using a standard ussd request. Read more about this below.

If the above methods did not solve the problem, you can simply come to the sales office of your operator and, presenting your passport, get the necessary information.

How to find out your number on an iPad tablet

Some models with iOS use a SIM card, so among users the question about the ability to determine the number is heard quite often. The methods described above (for Android tablets) are also relevant here.

Attention! The method of reinstalling the card on a smartphone has some nuance - in the latest models of modern phones, the SIM card size differs from the standard one, so you will need an additional adapter.

But there are methods that are only possible on devices with this OS:

1. The first, easiest way. The phone can be viewed in the system settings: Settings menu - “Basic” - in the “About device” section - look at the line “Number for cellular data”
2. Using Hand off, Free SMS or other publicly available programs, you can send a message from your tablet to any number. Once you receive it, simply save the sender's details.

Attention! This method of determination is only possible when exchanging data between Apple devices.

How to find out the SIM card number of a tablet from various telecom operators

Since the methods for determining it for each of the mobile operators are almost the same, we will consider them together.

The main methods for determining the number are described above. Now let's take a closer look at the methods that are tied directly to the operator.

Tablets with the Apple logo do not support voice messages or sending SMS; for them this is one of the most effective, but quite labor-intensive methods. We transfer the card to a mobile phone or smartphone. On Android tablets you can do this directly from the device itself.

We use the USSD service, which allows us to find out what is required by exchanging messages between the server and the device:

• for MTS – short number 0887, symbol combination *111*0887#;
• for BeeLine - short number 067410, symbol combination *110*10#;
• for Megafon - symbol combination *143*;
• universal USSD request *161#, which is not tied to a specific operator, but is a system one.

Other methods:

1. By installing a mobile application (“My Beeline”, MTS-Service, “MegaFon” Personal Account), which are the same in functionality as the Personal Account. With its help, any task that is related to the use of a cell number is performed. Three versions of the program are available for Android, iOS, and Windows.
2. On special sites you can find applications that will display basic information on the lock screen.
3. Contact the operator by calling a short number (only from a mobile phone) and give your details. After that, he will call the numbers that are registered to you:

• for MTS – 0890;
• for BeeLine – 0611;
• for Megafon – 0500.

Attention! If you officially purchased a SIM card, then you can obtain the necessary information by opening the contract for communication services that you received upon purchase. All you have to do is remember where you put it.
