While some of us have our phone numbers ingrained in our minds and can recall it at any given moment (usually in the same rhythmic pattern), others aren’t so lucky and often need a reminder.
Whether you’ve changed your phone number recently, you use a second work phone with a different SIM or just need to be reminded every now and then, we’ve got you covered.
We’ve detailed the quick and easy steps you need to take in order to find your mobile number on an Android smartphone. The method we’ve outlined below works for the majority of handsets, however be sure to scroll down to our Troubleshooting section to see the steps for other smartphones, such as OnePlus.

Read on to learn how to check your phone number on Android.
What you’ll need:
- An Android phone (we used a Google Pixel, but the process is similar elsewhere)
The Short Version
- Open your phone’s Settings app
- Tap on About Phone
- Scroll to Phone Number
Step
1Open your phone’s Settings app
First of all, open up the Settings app on your phone. This is the one with an icon like a mechanical cog.
Step
2Tap on About Phone
Scroll down to the bottom of the Settings app until you see the About Phone option. Tap this.
Step
3Scroll to Phone Number
Inside the About Phone menu, just scroll down and you should see one option named Phone Number, with your digits underneath.
Troubleshooting
You might want to look up your phone number if you don’t have a record of it, or if it has simply slipped your mind, but you need to pass it on as one of your contact details.
If you have two SIM cards then the steps to checking both your numbers are the same as above. On the About Phone page you should see both your phone numbers listed as Phone Number (sim slot 1) and Phone Number (sim slot 2). Make sure you take note of which phone number is the correct one.
Although the steps aren’t too dissimilar, they are slightly different from a Google, Samsung or Motorola handset.
On your OnePlus Settings app, tap Mobile Network and then tap SIM Card where your phone number will be listed.
It’s easy to tell which SIM card is in use, if you either have two inserted simultaneously or you’re using an additional eSIM. Follow the above steps and you’ll see if either the sim slot 1 or sim slot 2 is enabled and currently in-use.
