how to find number of payg sim

**biggy7** · 2nd October 2002

i got an orange sim here, havent used it in ages has no credit on it,

how do i find the number of the sim? so i ca get incoming calls?

ive looked though all the menu's on my 3310 but can find own number option, which im sure nokia phones used to have,

any hints on how to do it without adding credit?

Not sure if all Nokia ones do biggy - I can'f find it on my 6210 and I don't rmbr one on my 3310. If all else fails orange customer services might be able to tell from the sim (although I've never asked for this info myself).

My o2 tells me the number on the top up line before I add credit - not sure about orange - might be worth a try - althought you've probably already tried that

Simple. Phone your landline, hang up, and do 1471 and write the number down.

Enter the number in your Address Book as 'My Number' to save you the hassle of having bits of paper everywhere.

lol - biggy didn't have any credit so he couldn't make any calls from it

if you type in *#100# and press enter or call (green button)it should put the number of the phone on the screen and no credit used

only works with Vodaphone I am afraid SSYD.

The way i do it is use an old Ericsson 688 mobile, when it is switched on displaying the Ericsson LOGO (like nokias Startup message) the sim card phone number is displayed below it. I know that this method also works with the A1018s and 868/888 models if you have any of these hanging around (most people do use these for Doorstops now).

Hope it helps

Hi, Go into MENU , then select SETTINGS , scroll down to PHONE SETTINGS and press select , then scroll down to LIST OF OWN NUMBERS and select , you should see LINE 1 then a number . this number should be the number of your sim card !!!!
Hope this helps..........
