Find out the cell phone number on the cell phone

First of all, there are ways in which you can find out your own cell phone number on the cell phone yourself.

  • Probably the easiest option is to simply call someone you know, because the transmission of your own phone number is usually switched on by default. The called party then only has to provide the displayed number. If the number transmission is switched off, it can be easily activated via the settings.
  • A similar possibility is to give the acquaintance a SMS to write. In this case, the number is transmitted in any case, as there are no “anonymous” SMS messages from the mobile phone. The recipient can then simply state the number in the reply SMS, for example.
  • Depending on the mobile phone and provider, the menu item "Show own phone number" is available in some settings. In this case, the number can then simply be displayed "at the push of a button".

How you can also find out your number

In addition to the options mentioned, there are other methods that also make it possible to find out your own phone number in different ways.
