How to remove the ban on determining the number in the settings of the Xiaomi phone: all ways

Hiding your number when outgoing calls is a useful feature to protect privacy, but sometimes it gets in the way: colleagues won’t recognize you by your number, banks refuse to confirm your identity, and delivery services can’t contact you to clarify your address. MIUI Disabling this option is not obvious, and in some firmware it is not at all in the standard menu. 13/14.

The problem is complicated by the fact that the manufacturer regularly changes the location of settings in new versions. MIUI. For example, in MIUI 12 option to hide the number was in the menu “SIM-cards”, and in MIUI 14, it was moved to "Additional Call Settings." In addition, some operators (such as MTS or Beeline) can block the change of this parameter at the network level. In this article, you will find relevant ways for any situation, from standard settings to engineering menus and USSD-team.

Why does Xiaomi phone hide the default number?

In most cases, the Calling Line Identification Restriction (CLIR) function is not activated specifically, but due to a failure of settings or firmware features.

• 📱 Operator settings: Some mobile networks (such as Tele2 or virtual carriers like Yota) by default hide numbers for all subscribers, this is done to “protect” from spam, but often interferes with legal calls.
• 🔄 Update MIUI: after major updates (for example, with MIUI 13 on MIUI 14) call settings may be reset, with the number concealment option sometimes switched on automatically.
• 🛠️ Engineering menu: If you or the wizard previously changed settings via ##4636## or ##36446337###, a global cover-up for everyone could have been enabled SIM-map.
• 📴 Double. SIM: in dual-SIM phones (e.g. Xiaomi 12 Pro or POCO X5) The concealment settings may conflict if one of the SIM Supports VoLTE and the other does not.

It’s important to understand that hiding a number works at the network level, not the phone level, which means that even if you turn off the option in Xiaomi’s settings, the operator may ignore your request, for example, MegaFon in some regions forcibly hides the numbers for corporate rates.

⚠️ Note: If you are using a virtual SIM (eSIM in models like Xiaomi 13 Ultra or Redmi Note 12 Pro+, The hidden number settings can be blocked, and only a call to support the operator asking to remove the restriction will help.

Method 1: Standard MIUI settings (for most models)

This method works on MIUI 12-14 for most Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO smartphones. Instructions may vary slightly depending on the shell version, but the overall algorithm is maintained:

1. Open the Phone app (the tube icon on the home screen).
2. Click on the three dots in the top right corner and select Settings.

4. Select “Definition of the number” or “Identification of the caller”.

⚠️ Note: Some firmware for Redmi Note 11 and Xiaomi 11T When you change your settings, you need to restart your phone, and without it, the operator can continue to hide the number for 1-2 hours.

Method 2: USSD-commando

If the settings in the menu are not available or do not work, you can use the USSD-These commands are sent directly to the operator and change parameters at the network level!

For Chinese firmware (China ROM): the number hiding option is often not on the menu, in which case only:

• 📱 Reflashing on Global ROM.
