Xiaomi Redmi 10 is one of the most popular budget smartphones, but its features often remain undisclosed. Auto dial (or auto call) is a useful feature that automatically calls back to a subscriber if the first call goes unanswered. In this article, we will discuss all the ways to activate it, including hidden MIUI settings, and also solve typical problems that users face.
It is important to understand that depending on the firmware version (MIUI 12, 13 or 14) and regional build (Global, Russia, China), the location of options may vary, and we tested all methods on current versions of the software and collected working solutions even for cases when the standard auto dialer is disabled by the operator.
If youβve never used this feature, start with a basic setup through your phoneβs menu. For power users, weβve prepared instructions for activating through USSD codes and third-party apps, with a comparative table of their pros and cons.
What is an auto dialer and why is it needed on Redmi 10?
Auto dial (or auto call replay) is a feature that automatically re-calls a subscriber if the first call is missed or reset. On the Xiaomi Redmi 10, it works in two scenarios:
- π Repeat at a fixed interval (e.g. every 30 seconds before a response).
- π Repeat (only one additional call after resetting).
The function is particularly useful in situations:
- π’ Poor network coverage β when a call is often cut off.
- π When driving, when you can not constantly press "Call back".
- πΌ For business users who need to contact the customer.
On Redmi 10, the auto dial can be implemented at the level of:
- MIUI firmware is an integrated feature (not available in all regional versions).
- SIM cards are the service of the operator (MTS, Beeline, Tele2, MegaFon).
- Third-party applications β if the first two options are not available.
Method 1: Enabling Auto dialer via MIUI settings
The easiest method is to activate the feature in the phone's standard menu, but there's a caveat: some versions of MIUI (especially Global and EEA) have the option hidden or missing.
- Open the phone application (pipe icon).
- Click on the three dots in the upper right corner β select Settings.
- Scroll down to the Additional or Call section (depending on version).
- Look for the Autocall option or Autocall option.
- Activate the slider and select the repetition interval (usually 10, 20 or 30 seconds).
If you don't have a paragraph, don't worry. First, check the MIUI version in Settings β About Phone β MIUI version. Second, try updating the firmware:
Check the current version in Settings β About the phone
Connect to Wi-Fi (update "over the air" weighs 1.5-2 GB)
Charge your phone at least 50%
Make a backup copy of contacts-->
The update may bring back hidden functions, and if you still don't have an auto dial, move on to the next one.

Method 2: Activation through USSD-operator code
If you don't have a built-in feature, try connecting auto dialing as a service for your mobile operator. It's free, but it only works for outgoing calls from this SIM card. USSD-codes for Russian operators (2026):
| Operator. | Activation code. | Deactivation code | Repeat interval |
|---|---|---|---|
| MTS | *111*711# | *111*710# | 30 seconds |
| Beeline | *110*711# | *110*710# | 20 seconds. |
| Megaphone | *130*1# | *130*0# | 10β60sec (configurable) |
| Tele2. | *155*1*3*1# | *155*1*3*0# | 30 seconds |
To check the status of the service, use the codes:
- MTS: *111*712#
- Beeline: *110*712#
- Megaphone: *105*711#
- Tele2: *155*1*3*2#
The service may not work if:
- π Negative balance on the counter (even at zero").
- π΅ You are roaming (some operators block auto dialing abroad).
- π On the SIM card activated mode "Saving traffic".
π‘
If USSD-codes do not work, try to send them through the operator's application (My MTS, Beeline Pro, MegaFon Service, etc.). Sometimes the web version of services works more stable.
Method 3: Third-party applications for auto dialing
If none of the previous methods worked, we've got a customized application option, and we've tested 5 popular utilities and we've selected the two most reliable ones.
- AutoRedial (π Rating 4.7) β It's not rooting. β Flexible interval settings (from 5 to 120 seconds). β A history of repeated challenges. β Advertising in the free version.
Redial Pro
- β Dual-SIM support (selecting a SIM card to repeat).
- β Black list of numbers (excluding auto dialing).
- β Widget on the main screen.
- β Paid (199) β½).
- Activate the service in the background (allow auto-run in Settings β Apps β Permissions).
β οΈ Attention! Some antiviruses (e.g. Avast or Dr.Web) may block auto dialing as "suspicious activity." Add the app to exceptions or turn off protection for call times.
Solving the problem: why the auto dialer doesnβt work
Even when you set it up properly, it can fail, and we've collected the typical causes and ways to fix them:
| Problem. | Possible cause | Decision |
|---|---|---|
| Auto dialer not activated | The operator blocks the function | Call support (for example, MTS: 0890, Beeline: 0611) |
| Repeat is triggered with a delay | Weak signal from the network | Turn it on. 4G VoLTE in settings SIM-map |
| The function disappears after restarting | Resetting MIUI settings | Update your firmware or use a third-party app |
| It only works on one. SIM-map | Limitation of operator | Activate the service separately for each SIM card |
If the problem is not resolved, check:
- πΆ Quality of communication: in the phone menu dial ##4636## β Phone information β Check the signal level (should be higher) -90 dBm).
- π Application Conflict: Disable other call utilities (like Truecaller or Call Recorder).
- π Power saving settings: add the auto dial app to exceptions (Settings) β Battery β Optimizing the battery).

Hidden MIUI settings: how to return auto dial through the engineering menu
For power users, there is a way to enable auto dialing via the Engineering Mode, which works on most versions of Redmi 10, but requires caution β incorrect changes can disrupt the phone.
Instructions:
- Open the phone app and dial: ##4636##
- Select Phone Information (or Phone Information).
- Scroll down to the Set preferred network type section and remember the current value.
- Go back to the main menu of the engineering mode and select Hardware Testing β Audio.
- Press Auto Redial and activate the function by setting the interval (e.g. 20,000 ms = 20 seconds).
- Save the settings and restart the phone.
β οΈ Do not change other options in the engineering menu - this can lead to network loss or reset. IMEI. If after manipulation the phone stopped catching the network, reset through Settings β Additionally. β Recovery and discharge.
If the engineering menu is unavailable (provides an error), try the alternative code:
##36446337##This will open the EMMC Test menu, where the phone control option may also hide.
Auto dial and battery: how to reduce charge consumption
Frequent recalling can significantly reduce the battery life of the Redmi 10, and in our testing, the 10 second repetition interval increases the charge consumption by 15-20% to minimize the impact of:
- π Set a repetition interval of at least 30 seconds.
- π΄ Disable AutoDial for Badly Covered Numbers (Add These to the Blacklist in the App).
- π Use Energy Saving Mode in Battery Settings, but Add Auto dial app to Exceptions.
- πΆ Activate. 4G VoLTE β it spends less energy on calls than it does on mobile phones 3G.
Comparison of battery consumption at different settings:
| Repeat interval | Number of repetitions | 1 hour charge consumption | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 seconds. | 10 | ~12% | β Too aggressive. |
| 20 seconds. | 5 | ~7% | β οΈ Acceptable for urgent calls |
| 30 seconds | 3 | ~4% | β Optimal balance |
| 60 seconds. | 2 | ~2% | β Better for saving. |
If you use an external battery (powerbank), auto dial can be done more often - the charge consumption of the main battery in this case is uncritical.
