How to set up an auto dial on Xiaomi Redmi Note 9: 3 proven ways

Automatic re-dialing is a useful feature for those who often encounter busy lines or communication breaks. On the Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 (models M2003J15SC, M2003J15SS), this option is implemented in an unobvious way: the manufacturer does not put it in a prominent place on the menu. In this article, we will analyze all the working ways to activate an auto dialer, from hidden MIUI settings to third-party applications with advanced capabilities.

It's important to understand that on the Redmi Note 9 with MIUI 12-14 firmware, the auto dialing algorithm depends on the software version and regional build. For example, in global firmware (MIUI Global), the feature may not be available at all, while in Chinese (MIUI China), it is available by default. We tested all methods on current versions of the system (data as of May 2026) and identified those that are guaranteed to work.

1. Standard Auto dial through MIUI settings

The most reliable way is to use the built-in MIUI tools, but it requires pre-configuration. On the Redmi Note 9, the autorepeat feature is hidden in the Additional Call Settings menu and can be called differently depending on the firmware version.

To find her:

  1. Open the phone application (pipe icon).
  2. Click on the three dots in the upper right corner β†’ select Settings.
  3. Go to the Additional Settings section (or Call Settings in older versions).
  4. Find the item "Autophone", "Repeat dial" or "Autophone".
  5. Activate the slider and set the interval between attempts (the options are usually available: 5, 10, 30 seconds).
πŸ“Š You are using an auto dial on your smartphone?
Yeah, regularly.
Only in emergency cases.
No, I haven't.
I don't know what it is.

If you don't have Auto Driver on the menu, your firmware doesn't support system-level functionality, and one of the alternative methods described below will help.

⚠️ Note: On some versions MIUI For the Redmi Note 9, auto dialing only works when mobile internet is active. If you use Wi-Fi calls (VoWiFi), the feature may not work.

2. Auto dialing through USSD codes and engineering menu

For advanced users, there is a way to activate autorepeat via service commands, which works on most versions of MIUI, but requires caution: incorrect code entry can bring down network settings.

Follow the following steps:

  1. Open the Phone app and go to the Set tab.
  2. Enter the code: ##4636### This will open the engineering menu.
  3. Select Phone Information (or Phone Information).
  4. Scroll down to the Auto dial settings block (may be called Auto Redial).
  5. Set the Enabled value and save the changes.

If the engineering menu doesn’t open, try the alternative code:

**2767*3855#

Warning:

What do I do if the codes don't work?
If, after input, USSD-There is no code, check: - Version of the firmware: MIUI 14 and later, the engineering menu may be blocked. - Superuser rights: some codes require root access. - Regional assembly: on Chinese firmware (MIUI China) codes are often disabled.

3. Auto dialing apps from Google Play

If the built-in methods didn't work, the best option is to install a third-party app. We tested 5 popular utilities and selected the two most stable ones for the Redmi Note 9:

  • πŸ“± AutoRedial is a simple application with a customizable re-typing interval (from 3 to 60 seconds) and supports a blacklist of numbers and a log of attempts.
  • πŸ”„ Redial Pro - Extended version with Smart Auto dial (repeats the set only if the line was occupied, and not when resetting).
  • πŸ“ž Call Recorder & Auto Redial – a combined solution with recording conversations and auto-replay.

To set up an auto dial through AutoRedial:

  1. Install the app from Google Play.
  2. Open it and grant permissions to Calls and Call Log.
  3. In the main menu, activate the switch "Enable Auto dial".
  4. Set a re-set interval (recommended 10 seconds for a balance between persistence and battery saving).
  5. Add numbers to the White List if you want autorepeat to work only for them.

Check reviews (ranked above 4.2)

Make sure the app has been updated in the last 6 months

Read the permission list (no SMS or geolocation access for no reason)

- Check compatibility with Android 10/11 (on the Redmi Note 9 This version is set up)-->

⚠️ Note: Some auto dialing apps (such as Super Auto Redial) contain advertising modules that can drain the battery. Once installed, turn off background activity in battery settings (Settings) β†’ Battery β†’ Optimization).

4. Set up auto dial through Tasker (for advanced)

If you need a flexible trigger solution (e.g. auto-repeat only at specific times or for specific contacts), use Tasker. This automation app allows you to create a rule that will repeat the last set when a communication breaks.

Instructions for setting:

  1. Install Tasker and AutoInput plugin (required to simulate clicks).
  2. Create a new task (Tasks β†’ +) and call it, for example, AutoDial.
  3. Add the Phone action β†’ Call and specify the variable %LAST_CALL (last-number).
  4. Add Task β†’ Wait and set the delay to 10 seconds.
  5. Create a condition (Profiles β†’ + β†’ Event β†’ Phone β†’ Call Ended) and tie your task to it.

Important: Tasker requires manual adjustment for each scenario. If you are not familiar with the logic of triggers, use the simpler applications from the previous section.

FAQ: Answers to Frequent Questions

❓ Why the auto call doesn't work on the second SIM-map?

Or activate the auto dial through USSD-code-specific SIM: ##4636## β†’ Phone Information β†’ choose SIM2 If nothing helps, check if your carrier supports autoreplay on additional SIM cards (e.g. Tele2 restricts the feature to the primary number only).
❓ How to turn off the auto dial if it interferes?

❓ Can you set up different number of attempts for different contacts?
Yes, but only through third-party applications. For example, in Redial Pro: Open the contact list in the app. Choose the number you want and click Set the Auto dial. Set the individual interval and number of attempts (maximum 10). The built-in MIUI function does not do this.
❓ Why After Updating MIUI Auto dial-up stopped working?
Firmware updates often reset hidden settings to return the function: Check if the AutoTravel item has appeared in a new location (e.g. Settings). β†’ System applications β†’ If there is no item, use it. USSD-code ##4636## to re-activate. Reset network settings: Settings β†’ SIM-maps and mobile networks β†’ Reset network settings.

❓ Is there a risk that the auto dial will be blocked as spam?
Theoretically, yes, if: The interval between attempts is less than 5 seconds (operators regard this as an automatic call). You call short numbers (112, 911, etc.) - this can lead to blocking. SIM-Use auto dial for mass calls (more than 50 attempts per day) to avoid problems, set the interval of 10-15 seconds and limit the number of attempts (maximum 5-7).
