How To Find Your Phone Number on iPhone and Android

TheIndonesia.id - When you buy a new phone, you might forget to save your phone number. The unique identifier number assigned to the SIM card is often printed on the packaging. However, some carriers don't pre-assign phone numbers to SIM cards until they are registered or activated. So, how to phone your phone number?

Finding your phone number is pretty straightforward if you have an Android or iOS device. This guide will show you how to find your phone number on iOS devices and Android phones. You will also learn how to find your phone number from a Mac and Windows computer. 

Find Your Number on iPhone and iPad

After you insert your SIM card into your iPhone or iPad, Siri will auto-detect your phone number from the setting menu and add it to your contact card. 

Launch the phone app, head to the contacts tab, and tap your name in the "My Card" section. Alternatively, open the Contacts app and select your name card to see your phone number.

You can remove the phone number if it is incorrect. Tap the "phone" card, select don't suggest a phone number, and select don't suggest phone number again on the confirmation prompt. Siri will dissociate the phone number from your contact card and stop suggesting the phone number as yours. 

You can also find your phone number from the iOS settings menu. Open the settings app, select phone, and check the My Number row for your phone number.

You can always edit or change the phone number if it is incorrect. Tap My Number, enter the correct phone number, and select save.

Note that this phone number may differ from your Apple ID number, the number associated with your iCloud account. Apple ID phone number is used for two-factor authentication, sign-in verification, resetting your account password, etc. 

To check your Apple ID phone number on iPhones and iPads, open the settings app, select your Apple ID name, tap Name, Phone Numbers, Email, and check the phone number in the "Reachable At" section. 

To set up an additional phone number to your Apple ID account, tap Edit, tap Add Email or Phone Number, and select Add a Phone Number on the pop-up.

Find Your Phone Number on Android

The steps to check your phone number in Android may vary depending on your device's model and operating system version. Nonetheless, Android also has several built-in mechanisms for checking your phone number. 

Open the settings app, then select About phone, and check the Phone number rows for your mobile phone number. 

If you don't use the stock Android interface (such as Samsung and LG), go to settings > About device (or about the phone). Status > My phone number. 

Android will list multiple phone numbers if your phone uses more than one SIM card slot. If your phone number is listed as "Unknown," restart your phone and check again. You can also try removing and reinserting your SIM card. 

If your phone number remains listed as "Unknown," check if it's running the latest Android version. Otherwise, go to Settings > System > Advanced > System update and ensure your phone has the latest Android version.
