With the way telecommunication companies in Nigeria operate, I am not surprised people need to know how to check airtel number which by the way can be done easily and quickly with code but there are other methods you can use if ussd isn’t viable.

Airtel Nigeria will come up with a juicy data bundle or call plan and for you to be eligible, you have to get yourself a new sim.

Even though it might have been a marketing strategy, the data shows that most of the new sim cards are being bought by people who are already on the network. Then, they should have stopped it.

Even without different promotional offers whose eligibility status hangs on having a new sim card, there are a couple of other reasons you might want to know your airtel number.

Among these is filling out a form online or offline that requires getting back to you through your mobile phone.

Another thing is offers like Airtel Nigeria night plan which can be well enjoyed when you have more than one sim card to use it on.

These and many more are reasons numerous Nigerians have more than 1 sim card from a single telecom company and what that means is that you can’t possibly remember the number of all these lines. Hence, this write-up.

How to check airtel number using code

To check your airtel number using ussd, dial *121# then reply with 3 for manage my account option and reply with 4 for my number option. In a second or 2, your number will appear on your screen.

Call Airtel Customer Care to check your number

Dial 111, choose your preferred language, press 1 to manage your line and 6 to know your number. It is as easy as that. It is one of the fastest methods to retrieve your phone number and use it for whatever it is you want it for.

Send SMS to Another Number to know your own number

If you have more than one line, it doesn’t matter if it is on another network such as mtn, Glo, and 9mobile. Just send any random text to the other number and your own airtel number will appear as the sender’s number.

From there, you can retrieve it for whatever it is you want to use it for. If you have only one sim card, you can text any of your friends to achieve the same outcome.

Call Another Number to know your airtel number

This is similar to the text message method above. You just have to call another number be it your own or someone else’s and the caller’s number is your number. It is as easy as that. But most people never think of it.

Final Thought

Just like there are numerous reasons why you might want to check your own airtel number, there are also many ways to do it. And the above methods are the best ones at the moment.

If you have no airtime on your sim card, the text and call methods won’t work. Remember that an SMS costs 4 Naira and you at least need some Kobo depending on your tariff plan to be able to make a call.

However, you can always make use of the code or call customer care and their system will tell you your number. All the process takes less than 2 minutes and it is free. That’s all on how to check Airtel number in Nigeria.
