You just bought a Xiaomi smartphone or inserted a new one. SIM-Do you have a card, but you don't remember the number attached to it, or do you need to know your phone number urgently to pass it to a colleague or register with the messenger? In this article, we will discuss all possible ways to look at a number on Xiaomi – from standard to little-known, which work even without access to the phone settings.

The manufacturer doesn’t always make the number appear prominently in the MIUI interface, especially on newer versions of firmware. And in some cases (for example, when using virtual operators), the number may not appear at all on the menu. We tested all methods on the Redmi Note 12 Pro+, POCO X5 Pro and Xiaomi 13 Ultra models — and we are ready to share working solutions.

It is important that you use two SIM-card, check the number for each individually - they may belong to different operators with different rates. Also note that some rates (for example, corporate) the number may be hidden by default - in this case only a call to the operator will help.

1. Standard method: through MIUI settings

The most obvious method is to look at the settings of the smartphone. In MIUI, the path to the phone number may vary depending on the firmware version, but the general logic is maintained. Here's how to do it:

3. Select Status item SIM-maps or Information SIM.
4. In the menu you will see the line My phone number (if any).

⚠️ Note: On some versions MIUI 14 and later, this item may not be available. If you can't see the line with the number, try an alternative path: Settings → SIM-maps and mobile networks → [choose SIM] → My number.

If the number is not displayed even here, it can mean:

• 📱 SIM-The card does not support the number display function (often happens with virtual operators such as the Tele2 or Yota).

• 🔕 Is the outgoing call blocked (check in Settings) → SIM-map → Outgoing challenges).
