Why you need an auto dialer and how it works for Xiaomi
Automatic dialing is a feature that saves time when you make frequent calls to the same numbers. On the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10S, it can be implemented through both built-in MIUI tools and third-party applications. But there are nuances: standard tools are limited, and third-party solutions require caution when setting permissions.
In this article, we will analyze all the current methods - from simple (recall through the log) to advanced (automation via MacroDroid or Tasker), special attention will be paid to security: why you should not install applications for auto dialing from unverified sources and how to avoid blocking. SIM-Cards with frequent repeated calls.
If you need to call hotlines, support services, or family on a schedule, youโll find work solutions here, and if the goal is to bypass operator restrictions (such as when a signal is bad), weโll tell you what methods actually work on the Redmi Note 10S with MIUI 12-14.
Method 1: Repeat dialing through the call log (built-in function)
The easiest and safest method is to use the built-in dial-up option in the standard Phone app, which does not require root rights or third-party programs, but only works for the last missed or outgoing call.
Instructions:
- Open the Phone app (the tube icon on the home screen).
- Go to the magazine tab (watch icon in the bottom menu).
- Find the number in the list and tap it.
- In the window that opens, press three points (โฎ) top-right.
- Select Repeat Call (or Redial in the English version of MIUI).
Limitations of the method:
- ๐ Works only for the last call โ you can not configure autorepeat for a specific number in advance.
- โฑ๏ธ The interval between repetitions is fixed (usually 3-5 seconds) and is not customizable.
- ๐ต It does not work if the number has been blocked by the operator or added to the blacklist.
โ ๏ธ Note: When using this feature frequently, the operator may consider the activity as spam and temporarily block outgoing calls.

If the re-call fails, check if the Do Not Disturb mode is on in the audio settings. It can block outgoing calls.
Method 2: Auto dial through the Contacts app (for selected numbers)
MIUI allows you to assign quick contact actions, including automatic recalling, which is suitable if you need to contact specific people (such as parents or colleagues).
How to set up:
- Open the Contacts app.
- Find the right contact and tap it.
- Click Edit (pencil icon).
- Scroll down to the Additional Actions block.
- Select Add Quick Action โ Repeat Call.
- Save the changes.
Now, when you click on a contact, the Repeat Call button will appear in the list, and when it is activated, the phone will automatically call back to that number in 5 seconds.
| Advantages | Deficiencies |
|---|---|
| โ Does not require the installation of third-party applications | โ It only works for contacts saved in the phone book. |
| โ Quick access via contact widget | โ No flexible repetition interval settings |
| โ Safe for you. SIM-Cards (not blocked by the operator) | โ Not suitable for automatic dial-up on schedule |
Method 3: Automation via MacroDroid (for advanced users)
If the built-in features aren't enough, you can use MacroDroid, which allows you to create automated scripts, including auto dial at a given interval, which requires initial configuration, but gives you maximum flexibility.
Step-by-step:
- Install MacroDroid from Google Play.
- Open the app and click Add macro.
- In the Triggers section, select Phone โ Outgoing call is complete.
- In Action, add the Phone โ Repeat the last call.
- Set a delay (for example, 30 seconds) in the action settings.
- In the restrictions, specify a specific number (optional).
- Save the macro and activate it.
Example of setting up to dial 112 every 2 minutes before a successful connection:
Trigger: Outgoing call to 112 complete (status: "unresponse")
Repeat the call to 112
Delay: 120 seconds
Limitation: Maximum 5 repetitionsโ ๏ธ Warning: Excessive use of auto dialing via MacroDroid may lead to blocking SIM-Set a limit on the number of repetitions (no more than 3-5 times in a row).

Method 4: Auto dialing applications (alternatives to MacroDroid)
If MacroDroid seems complicated, you can use specialized applications. Below are proven options that work on the Redmi Note 10S:
- ๐ Auto Redial - simple interface, setup of repetition interval (from 5 to 60 seconds), support for blacklist of numbers.
- โฑ๏ธ Redialer: Auto Call Back โ automatically repeats the last call with a specified delay, there is a log of attempts.
- ๐ Call Repeater โ allows you to set up an auto dial schedule (for example, call work every day at 9:00 am).
How to install and configure (on the example of Auto Redial):
- Download the app from Google Play.
- Open it and grant permissions to access call logs and phone.
- In the main menu, select the Repeat Interval (30 seconds recommended).
- Activate the last call autorepeat option.
- For specific numbers, add them to Favorites inside the app.
Important: Auto dialing applications often require permission to access SMS and call logs. Check reviews before installing - some programs may collect user data.

Method 5: Auto dialing via Tasker (for power users)
Tasker is a powerful automation tool that allows you to create complex scenarios, including auto dialing with conditions, for example, you can only set up a re-call at a certain time of day or when you connect to a specific Wi-Fi network.
Basic setting:
- Install Tasker and provide all the necessary permissions.
- Create a new task (Tasks โ +).
- Add the action Phone โ Call and specify the number.
- Add the Task โ Wait action (set an interval, for example, 30 seconds).
- Repeat steps 3-4 for the right number of attempts.
- Create a profile (Profiles โ + โ Event โ Phone โ Call Ended) and link the task to it.
Example of profile for dialing at +79991234567 3 times with an interval of 20 seconds:
Profile: "Autophone to work"
Event: Phone Call Ended (Number: +79991234567, Duration < 5 sec)
Task:
1. Call +79991234567
2. Wait 20 sec.
3. Call +79991234567
4. Wait 20 sec.
5. Call +79991234567โ ๏ธ Tasker may conflict with system optimizations MIUI. After setting up, add it to the list No limits in battery settings (Settings) โ Battery โ Optimizing the battery).

Tasker is the most flexible tool, but it takes time to learn, and it's easier to use MacroDroid or specialized applications for one-time tasks.
Security and Limitations: What You Need to Know
Auto dialing is a useful feature, but its improper use can lead to problems:
- ๐ซ Lockdown SIM-Cards: Operators (MTS, Beeline, MegaFon, Tele2) can temporarily limit outgoing calls if they record frequent repeated dials (more than 5 times in a row).
- ๐ Battery discharge: Constant connection attempts increase power consumption. - Redmi Note 10S This can reduce the work time by 10-15%.
- ๐ต Blacklists: Some auto dialing apps may be blocked by antivirus software (including Mi Security) as potentially dangerous.
Recommendations for safe use:
- โ Set the limit on the number of repetitions (no more than 3-5 times).
- โ Use a minimum of 30 seconds between attempts.
- โ Check reviews of apps before installing โ some collect call data.
- โ Turn off the auto dialer when it is not needed to save battery power.
If the operator has blocked your SIM-card due to frequent dial-ups, contact support on 0890 (for MTS), 0611 (Beeline) or 0500 (MegaFon) and clarify the reason.
