How to install and configure auto dial on Xiaomi phones: the complete guide

Auto dialing is a useful feature that automatically repeats a dialing attempt if the subscriber is busy or not responding.On Xiaomi smartphones (including the Redmi line and the phone line). POCO) This option is often hidden in the depths of settings or requires activation through an engineering menu. Unlike the iPhone, where the auto dial is implemented at the operator level, on Android devices, its operation depends on the firmware and model of the phone.

In this article, we’ll look at all the ways Xiaomi can enable auto dial-ups, from standard methods to alternative solutions for devices without built-in functionality, and learn how to adjust the number of attempts, the spacing between them, and why the feature may not work on some models. We will also tell you how to get around the restrictions. MIUI And use the autophone even where it is not».

What is an auto dialer and why you need it on Xiaomi

Auto dialing (or auto call replay) is a feature that automatically calls back to a subscriber if the first attempt to connect fails.

• 📞 If the subscriber is busy, the phone will call back after a given period of time (usually 10–30 seconds).
• 🔄 The number of attempts can be limited (for example, 3 or 5 times) or made infinite.
• ⏱️ The interval between attempts is adjusted - from 5 seconds to several minutes.

Xiaomi does this differently than the iPhone. If Apple has an auto dial activated through settings, SIM-And it depends on the operator (MTS, Beeline, MegaFon, Tele2), and on Android everything is implemented at the firmware level:

• ✅ On some Xiaomi models, the auto dial is “out of the box” (for example, on the Redmi Note 10 Pro or on the other hand, the phone is not available). POCO X3 Pro).
• ❌ On other devices (especially budget or older) the feature is not in the menu, but it can be enabled through the engineering menu or third-party apps.
• ⚠️ On phones with custom firmware (for example, LineageOS), the auto dialer may not work correctly.

The main advantage of auto dialing on Xiaomi is its independence from the operator. You can use the function even with virtual ones. SIM (e.g. Tinkoff Mobile or Yota, where operator auto dialing services are often absent.

Checking Auto dialup support on your Xiaomi model

Before you set up an auto dial, make sure your phone supports it. Xiaomi has three types of devices:

1. With built-in function – auto dial is in the call settings (usually on flagships and mid-budget models after 2020).
2. With hidden function – the option is hidden in the engineering menu (often on budget Redmi and the lower-end ones). POCO).
3. Without AutoDial – the feature is not even in hidden settings (old models before 2018 or devices on pure Android).

To check for support, follow the following steps:

1. Open the phone application (pipe icon).
2. Press three points (⋮) in the upper right corner and select Settings.
3. Scroll down and look for items: Auto-Repeat Call (or Auto-redial in English firmware), Additional settings → Auto dial.

If there are no such items, move to the next section - there we will learn how to enable the hidden function.

⚠️ Attention: On phones with two SIM-Auto dial-up cards can only work on the main SIM (The one used for default calls. To change priority, go to Settings. → SIM-maps and mobile networks → Choice SIM call-in.

Method 1: Enabling Auto dial-up via standard settings

If your Xiaomi model supports auto dialing out of the box, you can activate it in a few steps. MIUI 12–14, including Redmi Note 11, POCO X4 Pro, Xiaomi 12T newer).

Step-by-step:

1. Open the Phone app (green tube icon).
2. Tap on three points (⋮) in the upper right corner and select Settings.
3. Scroll down to the Additional Settings section (or on English firmware).
4. Find the Auto-redial (or Auto-redial) item and tap it.
5. Activate the switch at the top of the screen.
6. Set up the parameters: 🔄 Number of attempts: 1 to 10 (recommended 3-5). ⏱️ Interval: 5 to 60 seconds (optimally 15-20 seconds).

Once activated, when a call fails, the phone will automatically try again at a given interval. Please note that if the caller drops a call or transfers it to voicemail, the auto dial won't work - the function only works when "busy" or "no response."

⚠️ Note: On some firmware (for example, MIUI Global for European market) Autocall may not be available even on supported models, in which case try changing the firmware region to India or China via Settings → Additionally. → Region.

Method 2: Activate a hidden auto dial through an engineering menu

If you don't have an auto dial option in your standard settings, you can try turning it on through the engineering menu. Xiaomi/Redmi/POCO based on Qualcomm Snapdragon (for example, Redmi Note) 9 Pro, POCO X3 NFC). For phones on MediaTek (e.g. Redmi) 10C) way may not work.

Instructions:

1. Open the Phone app and enter the code: ##4636## Some models may require a code: ##8255###
2. Select Phone Information (or Phone Information).
3. Scroll down to the Set auto redial (or Auto Repeat) section.
4. Activate the function by setting the Enabled value.
5. Set the settings: Redial times is the number of attempts (e.g. 5). Redial interval is the interval in seconds (e.g. 15).

Go back to the main menu and restart the phone.

After restarting, the auto dial should work. To check it, call a busy number (for example, your second phone) - in 15-20 seconds, an automatic re-call should occur.

On some firmware (for example, MIUI China) the engineering menu can be blocked:

• 🔓 Install Magisk and EngineerMode Enabler.
• 📱 Use a third-party application (about this in the next section).

Method 3: Using third-party applications for auto dialing

If neither the standard settings nor the engineering menu helped, there is a third-party option, and there are several proven programs on Google Play that emulate auto dialing:

• 📱 AutoRedial is a simple app with setup of number of attempts and intervals.Works for all Xiaomi, but requires permission to call.
• 🔄 Redial – supports a blacklist of numbers for which an auto dial is not required.
• ⚡ Auto Call Recorder & Redial – a combo from an auto dialer and recording device (useful for business calls).

Let’s look at the example of AutoRedial:

1. Download and install the app from Google Play.
2. When you first start, grant permissions to Calls and Call Log.
3. In the main menu, activate the Enable Auto Redial switch.
4. Set the settings: Number of retries: 3-5 (maximum 10). Delay between retries: 10-30 seconds. Vibration on redial: turn on to feel the vibration when you call again.

Blacklist

Advantages of third-party applications:

• ✅ It works on any Xiaomi model, even without the built-in feature.
• ✅ Flexible settings (you can specify different intervals for different contacts).
• ✅ Additional features (for example, recording conversations or notifications of missed calls).

Disadvantages:

• ❌ Requires constant work in the background (may affect autonomy).
• ❌ Some apps show ads.

💡

If the auto dial through the application does not work, check whether the battery optimization does not block it. → Annexes → Application management → AutoRedial → Battery and select No Limitations.

Why Automatic Calling May Not Work for Xiaomi

Even if you set up your auto dialer correctly, it may not work, and here are the main reasons and ways to fix them:

A few more nuances:

• 📵 If you have Do Not Disturb or on the plane, the auto dialer will not work.
• 🔋 On some firmware, the auto dialer is turned off when the battery is low (less than 15%).
• 📶 If the network signal is weak (e.g., E instead of E) 4G), Repeated calls may not be allowed.

⚠️ Attention: On phones with MIUI 14 and later Auto dial may conflict with Recording Conversations. If both options are enabled, try disabling the recording or using a third-party app.

Alternative methods of automatic re-calling

If none of the above methods worked, there are several other options:

1. Auto dialing service from the operator

Many Russian operators offer their own auto dialing service, which is network-level, so it doesn't depend on the phone model.

• 📞 MTS: send USSD-team *111*45# or call on 0890.
• 📱 Beeline: Dial *110*09#.
• 🌐 MegaFon: activate through your personal account or USSD *105*45#.
• 📡 Tele2: service called "Auto-Dialer", is included on the number 611.

The disadvantage of this method is a paid connection (usually 3-5 rubles per day) and a limited number of attempts (most often 3 times with an interval of 30 seconds).

2 Automation via Tasker or MacroDroid

For advanced users, there's an option with automation, and apps like Tasker or MacroDroid let you create a rule:

1. If the call is completed with the status "Occupied" or "No response",
2. Wait X seconds,
3. Repeat the call to the same number.

Example of macros for MacroDroid:

1. Create a new macro.
2. As a trigger, select the Call Completed.
3. Add condition: Call status = Busy or no response.
4. In the action, say: Wait (set the desired interval) Call the last number.

This method is flexible but requires customization and can drain the battery faster due to the application’s background operation.

3. Voice Assistant (Alice, Google Assistant)

If you need to call back to the last number, you can use voice commands:

• 🎤 For Yandex Alice: say "Call back to the last number».
• 🤖 For Google Assistant: Call last number or Call last number».

This is not a full-fledged auto dial, but it is convenient if you need to quickly repeat the call without manual dialing.

💡

If your Xiaomi does not support auto dialing in any way, the best solution is a service from the operator or a third-party application. + battery optimization.
