How to set up an auto dial on Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro: 3 working ways

Automatic dial-up is a useful feature that saves time when you try to reconnect. On the Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro (model MTK Helio G90T), this option is implemented in an unobvious way: the manufacturer did not bring it to the home screen of the phone application, as do Samsung or iPhone. However, you can activate the auto dial through hidden settings MIUI, and using third-party utilities.

In this article, we will analyze all current methods for 2026, including firmware limitations, the risks of using informal applications and the nuances of the function on double-digits. SIM-We will discuss why auto dialing may not work on some operators (for example, Tele2 or Yota) and how to fix this. If you often call busy numbers or encounter call drops, the instructions below will help automate the process.

1. Method: Standard Auto dial through MIUI settings

Firmware MIUI 12-14 for the Redmi Note 8 Pro hides the auto dial option in the back of the menu. You don't need root rights or extra apps to find it, you just need to know the right way. SIM-cards (the one that is selected by default for outgoing calls).

Instructions:

• 📱 Open the Phone app (the tube icon on the home screen).
• ⚙️ Click on three dots in the upper right corner → Select Settings.
• 🔍 Scroll down to the Additional Settings section. → Auto dial.
• ⏱️ Set the interval between attempts (options available: 5, 10, 15, 30 seconds).
• 🔄 Activate the switch Enable the auto dialer.

Note that if the AutoDial option is not on the menu, then your version of MIUI is modified (for example, the Global ROM from third-party developers) or the phone is purchased in a region where the function is blocked by the operator, in which case move to the second method.

⚠️ Attention: On firmware MIUI 14+ Android 13 Auto dialing may conflict with Recording Conversations. If the dialing stops working, turn it off in the Phone app settings. → Call recordings.

2. Method: Auto dialing apps from Google Play

If the standard method didn’t work, use third-party utilities. For the Redmi Note 8 Pro, you can use:

• 🔄 Auto Redial is a minimalist application that adjusts the number of attempts (up to 100) and the delays between them. Supports a blacklist of numbers for which the auto dialer is disabled.
• 📞 Redial Pro is an extended version with a re-call log and integration with Google Contacts. It allows you to configure different intervals for different contacts.
• ⚡ Call Recorder & Auto Redial is a combo solution for those who need to record conversations.

How to install and configure (on the example of Auto Redial):

1. Download the app from Google Play.
2. When you first start, provide permissions for Phone and Contacts.
3. In the main menu, select Auto dial settings → set:
4. Return to the main screen and click Activate the service.

On the Redmi Note 8 Pro with MIUI 13.0.8+ firmware, Call Recorder & Auto Redial can cause a communication module to crash (network disappears after 3-4 automatic dials). If you encounter this problem, clear the phone app cache in your phone settings.

3. Method: Auto dialing via USSD-commands (for operators Beeline, MTS, MegaFon)

Some Russian operators support auto dialing at the network level, which means that the call is initialized not by the phone, but by the operator’s server – which reduces the load on the Redmi Note 8 Pro battery.

• ❌ It works only for subscribers of the same operator (for example, from Beeline to Beeline).
• ❌ Does not support interval setting – a re-call occurs in fixed 20-30 seconds.
• ❌ It can be charged as a separate service (check with the operator).

Activation:

1. Open the Phone application → go to the Set tab.
2. Enter. USSD-team for your operator:
3. Press the call button. In a few seconds, an SMS will come back with the activation confirmation.

This is a good way to use the same phone number as a regular caller (e.g., a colleague) and the main advantage is that the Redmi Note 8 Pro does not consume battery power, since the dial logic is implemented on the network side, and the disadvantage is the lack of flexibility in settings.

4. Why Auto dialing doesn't work: Common problems and solutions

If you have set up an auto dialer but it doesn’t work, check the following points:

Pay special attention to the power saving settings. The Redmi Note 8 Pro has Balanced mode activated by default, which limits the background activity of system applications, so that the auto dialer is stable:

1. Go to Settings → Battery and Performance.
2. Select Battery Settings → Battery Optimization.
3. Find the phone in the list and select No Limits.

Automatic recalling is a handy feature, but it can create problems:

• 💰 Uncontrolled expenditure: If the subscriber is roaming or on a pay number (for example, 8-800 Pay per minute, auto dialing will waste money even when you don’t bring your phone to your ear.
• 🔋 Accelerated battery discharge: Constant connection attempts activate module 4G/3G, which increases energy consumption by 15–20%.
• 📵 Number lock: Some operators (e.g. Tele2) may temporarily block your number for too frequent repeat calls (more than 20 per minute).

To minimize the risks:

1. Set the attempt limit (no more than 5-7 for unknown numbers).
2. Exclude from the auto dial numbers with prefixes 8-800, 8-900, +7-495 (if you are not sure of their free).
3. Turn off the feature manually when it is not needed (for example, through the widget on the home screen).

⚠️ Note: Redmi Note 8 Pro with firmware MIUI 12.5-13.0 is a bug: if an incoming call comes in during an auto dial, the phone can freeze for 10-15 seconds. → Additionally. → Interrupt the auto dial at an incoming call.

6.Alternative solutions: when the auto dial is not suitable

If you need to automate more complex scenarios (such as a scheduled call or a successful connection notification), consider these options:

• 🤖 Tasker + AutoInput plugin: Allows you to create a rule like “If the number is busy, repeat after 1 minute and send it to the user.” SMS When you answer. It requires customization skills.
• ⏰ MacroDroid: A simplified alternative to Tasker with pre-made auto dial templates. There's a free version.
• 📱 Second second SIM-card in another phone: If you need an auto dial for business, use a separate device (e.g. Redmi) A2) grid-operated.

For the Redmi Note 8 Pro, MacroDroid is the best solution, as it is compatible with MIUI and does not require root rights.

Trigger: Unsuccessful Outbound Call (Number: Any)


Action 1: Wait 15 seconds for the next




Action 2: Repeat the last call




Action 3: If the call is successfully connected → show the notification “Subscriber answered”

💡

Auto dialing via Tasker or MacroDroid consumes significantly more battery than standard methods, but gives full control over the logic of repeated calls.
