When a line is busy or a subscriber is unavailable, it is familiar to every smartphone user. Owners of Xiaomi, Redmi and Poco devices often face the need to constantly re-calculate the number to reach government agencies, support services or popular services. The standard MIUI or HyperOS feature set does not always offer a built-in solution for automatic re-typing, which forces users to look for third-party methods.
Fortunately, the Android ecosystem provides flexible tools to automate routine activities. Auto dialing setup on a Xiaomi phone can be implemented through specialized apps from the Google Play store or using the help of a customized phone. USSD-The choice of the specific method depends on your device model, operating system version and personal preferences regarding data security.
In this article, we will take a look at all the available methods of dialing automation, learn how to choose a reliable application, how to set up Android permissions for stable software, and what hidden telephony features exist, and discuss the nuances of working with operator codes and answer frequent troubleshooting questions.
Use of specialized applications for auto dialing
The most versatile and reliable way to organize automatic re-typing is to install third-party software. Unlike built-in features that may not be present in the MIUI shell, specialized applications offer advanced functionality, allowing you to set intervals between attempts, the number of repetitions, and even work in the background while you do other things on your smartphone.
When choosing software, you should pay attention to the rating in Google Play and the number of installations. Popular solutions such as Auto Redial or Call Repeater often have a simple interface and a minimum set of permissions, which is important for the security of your personal data. Once you install the application, you will need to give it access to the phone book and call functions, without which automation is impossible.
The setup process usually takes no more than a couple of minutes, you need to enter the phone number you want to dial or select the contact from the list, then you set the parameters: for example, make 50 attempts at intervals of 10 seconds, some advanced programs can analyze the beeps and stop dialing if the connection is successfully established, or vice versa, if the number is permanently unavailable.
- 📱 Interface: Most apps have a minimalist design with large start and stop buttons.
- ⚙️ Flexibility: the ability to adjust pauses between beeps and the total waiting time for a response.
- 🔋 Energy efficiency: modern versions are optimized for minimum battery consumption.
⚠️ Note: Be careful when installing applications from unknown developers. Some programs may contain ads or request excessive permissions not related to the call function.
Configure access rights to MIUI and HyperOS
Xiaomi’s Android operating system is known for its aggressive energy-saving policies, which means the system can force background processes, including auto dialing apps, to be closed unless they have appropriate exceptions. To make automatic dialing work at the tab and not interrupted halfway, you need to properly configure access rights.
First of all, you need to find the installed application in the list of all programs. Go to the Settings menu → Apps → All applications. Find your auto dialing tool in the list and click on it. Here you are interested in the Permissions section, where you want to make sure that access to the phone and contacts is allowed. Without this, the system will simply block the attempt to make a call.
The second, equally important step is to set up the battery. In the app menu, select Energy Saving and set the No Limits mode. This will prevent MIUI from "killing" the call process to save energy. It is also recommended to fix the application in memory: open the list of running applications, press and hold the program window, then select the lock icon.
☑️ Checklist for access rights settings
Ignoring these settings is the most common reason why the auto dial stops working after the screen is turned off, the system perceives active dialing as a background load and stops it, the correct configuration ensures that your smartphone will perform the task to the end, regardless of the state of the screen or the games running.
Use of the USSD-codes and services of operators
Not everyone knows, but automatic re-typing can be implemented at the cellular level, without installing additional programs. Many carriers provide a service called "Auto-Dial" or "Re-Call", which is activated through special combinations of numbers, this method is especially relevant if you do not want to clog your phone memory with unnecessary software.
The essence of the method is to send a special request to the operator's server. Once activated, if your call does not pass (busy or no response), the network itself will periodically try to connect you to the subscriber. Once the line is free, both phones will start calling, but it is worth considering that such services are often paid or have a limited period of validity.
For activation, type codes are usually used *110*41# or *110*42# (The codes may vary depending on the operator and region. Entering a command in the dialing field and pressing the call button sends a request. SMS-the message will confirm the activation of the service or inform you about the impossibility of its connection.
| Operator. | Activation code. | Cancellation code | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| MTS | *110*41# | *110*40# | Paid (to clarify) |
| Beeline | *110*42# | *110*43# | Paid (to clarify) |
| Megaphone | *110*44# | *110*45# | Paid (to clarify) |
| Tele2 | *110*46# | *110*47# | Paid (to clarify) |
⚠️ Note: Service codes may be changed by operators without warning.Be sure to check the rates before activation, as for each successful auto dial may be charged for.

Alternative Methods: Scripts and Automation
For advanced users who don't trust third-party apps or want to have full control of the process, there are automation tools. Apps like MacroDroid or Tasker let you create your own scenarios for a smartphone. You can write a macro saying, "If I press the X button, dial the Y number and repeat every 30 seconds until I stop."
This approach takes time to set up the first setup, but gives you maximum flexibility, such as setting the script so that the auto dial is only turned on at certain times of the day or when you connect to a specific Wi-Fi network, which makes your Xiaomi a powerful tool for telemarketing or monitoring line availability.
Creating a macro in MacroDroid is like this: select a trigger (like a desktop widget), add a Call action, and set up a repeat cycle.
- 🛠️ Universality: you can combine auto dial with sending SMS or vibrational.
- 🧠 Logic: the possibility of creating difficult conditions (if busy - wait 10 seconds, if the beeps - wait 30 seconds).
- 🔒 Security: scripts run locally on the device, data is not transferred anywhere.
Typical problems and ways to solve them
Even if you set up the right setup, users can face difficulties, often software conflicts, for example, if you have multiple calling apps installed, the system may not know which one to use for auto dialing, in which case it is recommended to temporarily disable or delete unnecessary calls.
Another common problem is blocking from the antivirus or built-in Security Defender in MIUI. The system may regard frequent automatic calls as suspicious malware activity. To avoid blocking, add the auto dialer app to the antivirus exception list and clear it of background activity restrictions.
If the auto call is interrupted immediately after the start, check the settings. SIM-Make sure you don’t ban outbound calls or run out of minutes, and try rebooting your smartphone, as temporary system errors in the communication module can prevent the function from working properly.

Tip: Before a long auto dial session, turn off the Do Not Disturb mode and make sure the speaker is on to hear the subscriber's response or horn.
