How to turn on auto dial on Xiaomi Redmi 10: a complete guide with settings

The auto dial feature on Xiaomi smartphones is a useful tool for those who often encounter busy lines or communication failures. On the Redmi 10 model (including Redmi 10A/10C/10 Prime modifications), this option works through the standard Phone application, but many users do not know how to activate it correctly. Unlike the older versions of MIUI, where the auto dial was included in the call menu, the new firmware algorithm has changed - now requires configuration through "Additional Features" or third-party applications.

In this article you will find a step-by-step instruction taking into account the features MIUI 12/13/14, And we'll also solve some of the common problems, like why auto dialing doesn't work, how to change the re-typing interval, and whether you can customize the function for specific contacts. USSD-codes before installing specialized utilities from Google Play.

What is an autodialer and how it works Xiaomi Redmi 10

Auto dialing (or "re-call") is a feature that automatically calls back to a subscriber if their line is busy or the connection is interrupted. On Xiaomi smartphones, it is implemented at the MIUI firmware level and depends on the software version. For example, in MIUI 12.5 and later, the algorithm works like this:

• 📱 The smartphone fixes the status of “occupied” or “no response»;
• ⏱️ After a predetermined interval (by default 30 seconds), a repeat set is initialized;
• 🔄 The cycle is repeated up to 3-5 times or until a successful connection is made.

It is important to understand that autocall does not replace the operator's callback function (e.g. *67 or *68 for MTS/Beeline). These are two different mechanisms: the first works at the phone level, the second at the network level. On Redmi 10 you can use both options, but the setting will be different.

Another nuance is carrier dependency, where some mobile networks (like Tele2 or virtual carriers like Yota) can block frequent re-calls as spam, in which case the auto dialer will not work smoothly, even if the settings on the phone are correct.

3. Go to the section Additional functions → Auto dial.

• 🔄 Auto Redial – allows you to configure unlimited number of attempts and flexible intervals;
• 📞 Redial Pro – supports “white lists” of contacts for auto dialing;

Why Autocalls Are Not Working: Common Mistakes and Solutions

If you have turned on the auto dialer but it does not work, the reasons may be as follows:

1. Conflict with other features: On Redmi 10, auto dialing can be blocked if Do Not Disturb or Plane Mode is active at the same time (even if Wi-Fi is on). Check settings in Settings → Notifications → Do Not Disturb.
2. Operator restrictions: Some tariffs (e.g., "For Laptop" from MegaFon or "Unlimited" from Yota) block frequent repeated calls.
3. Phone app crash**: Clear the app cache: Settings → Apps → Phone → Storage → Clear the cache. If it doesn’t work, reinstall the Phone update on Google Play.

⚠️ Attention: On some firmware MIUI For Redmi 10 (especially custom) auto dialer may conflict with the Telephony Framework module. If after activation of the function the phone starts to "glut" (for example, the network disappears), roll back to the standard firmware.

Set up an auto dial for specific contacts

The standard auto dial function in MIUI applies to all outgoing calls, but with the help of third-party applications (for example, Auto Redial), you can configure the rules for individual contacts.

1. Install the app from Google Play and open it.
2. In the Contacts section, select the desired number from the phone book.
3. Set up the parameters: 🔢 Number of attempts (e.g. 10 for important contacts); ⏱️ Interval (for example, 10 seconds for urgent calls); 🔔 Audible alert before re-setting.

Save the settings and test by calling a busy number.

On MIUI 14 and later on Redmi 10, the experimental Priority Contacts feature in the standard Phone app has been introduced, which allows you to assign separate dialing rules. To activate it, go to Settings → Additional Features → Priority Contacts and add the desired numbers.

Comparison of Auto dial on different Xiaomi models

The functionality of the auto dial may vary depending on the smartphone model and the version of MIUI. Below is a comparison for popular devices:

If you are planning to upgrade your smartphone, consider that on new models (for example, Redmi 12 or Poco X5) the auto dialing algorithm may work differently. For example, MIUI 14 for Redmi 12 has an option “Smart Recalling”, which analyzes the cause of the failure (on/off network/no response) and selects the optimal interval.

Security and privacy: risks of auto dialing

Using an auto dial, especially through third-party apps, can pose privacy risks:

• 🔓 Access to a call log: Some apps request permission to read call history, allowing them to collect data about your contacts;
• 📡 Transfer of data to the operator: when used USSD-Information about repeated calls can be recorded in the billing system;
• 💰 Hidden payments: some operators charge auto dialing as an additional service (for example, MegaFon charges 1.5 rubles for each attempt).

To minimize the risks:

1. Use only official methods (built-in settings) MIUI or USSD-operator code).
2. Before installing third-party apps, check the permissions in Google Play (only Calls and Contacts, without access to SMS or location).
3. Regularly review the details of the accounts in the operator’s personal account for unauthorized write-offs.

💡

The safest way is to use the built-in auto dialer in MIUI. Third-party applications should be installed only in the absence of alternatives and after checking reviews.
