Forgetting your own phone number happens to everyone. In Pakistan, Telenor offers several easy, official ways to retrieve your Telenor SIM number. These include using USSD codes, an SMS service, the My Telenor mobile app, or contacting customer support. The My Telenor App in particular is designed to handle “all your Telenor Pakistan number related needs” without memorizing USSD codes. Below is a detailed guide on each method, along with a summary table and useful tips.
Step-By-Step Methods
1. USSD Code Method
Telenor provides simple USSD codes that instantly display your number on-screen. According to Telenor user guides, open your phone’s dialer and dial *888# then press call. Within seconds your Telenor number will appear. (If *888# does not work, you can try *346# as an alternative.) These USSD checks typically work without any balance on the SIM.
2. SMS Method
If you cannot use USSD codes, Telenor’s SMS service can send your number to you. From your Telenor SIM, send a text message with the word MYNO to 7421. Shortly after, you will receive an SMS reply containing your SIM’s phone number. (Note: A standard SMS fee applies for sending the text.) According to some reports, older guides also mention sending a blank SMS to 7421 or dialing *8888#, but the reliable method is to text “MYNO” as above.
3. My Telenor App
Telenor’s official My Telenor App (Android/iOS) shows your number when you log in. After installing the app and signing in, your active Telenor number is displayed prominently on the home screen. The app is designed to solve all “number related problems” with ease, so it can also manage packages and balances free of charge. Use the app whenever you have internet access (Wi-Fi or mobile data) to view your account details.
4. Customer Care (Call or Chat)
If all else fails, Telenor customer support can look up your number. Dial 345 from your Telenor phone (or call 042-111-345100 from any phone) to reach Telenor’s helpline. After a quick verification, the agent can tell you your SIM number. Alternatively, visit the Telenor Pakistan website and use the Live Chat option (bottom right corner) to chat with an agent. You can also email [email protected] to request help. These support channels are official and available 24/7.
