How to turn on auto dial on Xiaomi Redmi Note 10: a complete guide with pictures and tips

The AutoDial feature on the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 is an indispensable tool for those who often encounter busy lines or dropped calls. This option automatically repeats dialing at specified intervals, saving you time and nerves, but many users are not even aware of its existence or do not know where to look for settings.

In this article, we will take a look at how to activate an auto dialer on the Redmi Note 10 (including the Pro/Pro Max modifications), what settings can be configured, and why the feature may not work. You will also learn about the hidden nuances of MIUI that affect the operation of the auto dialer, and get practical tips on how to optimize its use.

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

Auto dialing (or automatic recalling) is a feature that automatically calls back to a subscriber if his line is busy, off or unavailable. On the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10, it is implemented through standard MIUI settings, but its behavior depends on the firmware version and the carrier.

Main use cases:

• 📞 Busy line: when the subscriber is talking, and you urgently need to call him
• 🔌 Phone switched off: if the interlocutor has a battery sat down or is outside the coverage area
• 🚫 Reset calls: when an operator interrupts a connection due to network congestion
• 🏢 Corporate numbers: many office PBXs automatically drop calls when they are under heavy load

On the Redmi Note 10, the auto dialer works by algorithm: it records the status of "busy" or "unavailable", waits for a given interval (by default 30 seconds), and repeats the attempt. The number of repetitions can be limited or made infinite, this is adjusted manually.

Where is the auto dial setting in MIUI 12/13/14

The path to auto dialing can vary from one version of the MIUI shell. On the Redmi Note 10 with current firmware (2023-2026), the feature is hidden in the phone's menu. Here's the exact route:

1. Open the Phone app (the tube icon on the home screen)
2. Click on three dots in the upper right corner (⋮) → Select Settings
3. Go to the Additional Settings section (or in older versions)
4. Find the Auto Call or Re-Call

If you don’t have an “Autophone” item on the menu, it could mean:

• 📱 A custom firmware is installed without this function
• 🔄 Version. MIUI 12.0+ (update the system)
• 📵 The operator blocks service functions (often for virtual operators)
• 🛠️ The function is disabled through the Developer Settings (rarely)

Step-by-step instructions for the inclusion of an auto dial-up

Now, let’s get to the practice. Follow this instruction to activate and configure the auto dialer on your Xiaomi Redmi Note 10:

Open the phone app

Go to "Settings" → "Additional settings"

Find and turn on the "Cover" slider

Set the re-calling interval (recommended) 30-60 seconds)

Save the settings-->

Detailed steps:

1. Run the standard Phone app. If you use a third-party dialer (like Truecaller), switch to the standard dialer temporarily.
2. Slap the icon. ⋮ (three points) in upper right corner → Settings.
3. Scroll down to the Additional Settings section (in MIUI 14 it may be called System Call Settings).
4. Find AutoDial (or Re-Call in localized versions) and activate the slider.
5. Click on the Interval and select the appropriate time period: 🕒 15 seconds for urgent calls (may irritate the subscriber) ⏳ 30 seconds is the best option for most cases 🕔 1 minute – if the subscriber usually talks for a long time ⏰ 2 minutes for international calls (saving money)

Optionally, enable Limitation of Attempts and set the maximum number of Reps (e.g. 5 or 10).

Once you save the settings, the function will be active for all outgoing calls, and to turn off the auto dial for a particular number, you will have to do this manually during the call (the Cancel button will appear after the first reset).

💡

If the auto dial doesn't work on a specific number, try adding it to Contacts first. MIUI sometimes blocks service functions for unknown subscribers.

Auto dialing problems on Redmi Note 10 and their solutions

Even after setting up the auto dialer correctly, it can be unstable, and here are the typical problems and ways to fix them:

⚠️ Attention: On some firmware MIUI Auto dialing conflicts with Recording Conversations. If you have automatic recording enabled, try temporarily disabling it in your phone settings.

2. Find the phone → Storage → Clean the data
3. Reset the device

To get into the engineering menu:

1. Open the phone application
2. Enter the code ##4636##

How Auto dialing affects battery and traffic

Many users worry that frequent calls will drain the battery or increase traffic consumption, and let's see if these concerns are justified:

Impact on the battery:

• 🔋 Minimum – Modern chips (e.g., the Snapdragon 678 in the Redmi Note 10) are optimized for such tasks
• ⚡ Real spending: ~0.5-1% charge-by-charge 10 attempts (at intervals) 30 seconds)
• 🔌 Tip: If the battery is discharged quickly, check the settings → Battery → Battery usage – you will see how much the phone app consumes.

Impact on traffic:

• 📶 No expense – auto dialer works at the operator’s network level without using mobile Internet
• 💰 Payment: Every call attempt is charged as an outgoing call (even if the line is busy)
• 📞 Exception: some operators (e.g. Tele2) do not charge for unconnected calls

If you use auto dial intensively (for example, to work with customers), consider:

• 🔄 Fare with unlimited minutes
• 📱 Two. SIM-cheap-calling
• 💼 Corporate Communication (if you call on the job)

Alternative methods of automatic dialing

If you don't like the standard auto dial on the Redmi Note 10, you can use third-party solutions.

For the installation of AutoRedial:

1. Download the app from Google Play
2. Provide permissions for calls and contacts
3. In the settings, specify: 📞 Auto dial numbers (can be selected from contacts) ⏳ Interval (from 5 seconds) 🔄 Number of attempts (up to 100) 🔔 Audible alert during successful connection

⚠️ Note: Some auto dialing apps (e.g. Redialer) require permission for Special Access. Do not provide it unless the application is from a verified source - this can be dangerous for security.
