Call center
The call center is not the easiest option especially when there are so many other customers in queue before you. But if you do not have more options, you can all the customer service to ask them what your phone number is as well as how to check it by yourself.
I wrote a full guide on How to Contact MTN Customer Center earlier. To make it even easier for you, you can simply dial 100. It works for MTN Ghana and most of the other major networks in Ghana.
Check starter pack
Most customers throw away the sim starter pack right after purchasing it. The starter pack contains a lot of information about your sim card as well as your phone number.
One of the most reliable options when it comes to checking phone number is using the starter pack. Your phone number is printed on the pack.
Call or text someone
This is one of the oldest ways to check your phone number. It works with the help of a second phone whose number you already know.
Dial or send a text to the second phone number from your new number. You will see the new number on the second phone when it starts ringing. It is very simple but difficult to execute if you do not have airtime on your new number.
Use an app
This is also another viable option. Using your mobile network provider’s app detects your mobile number automatically. In most cases, this option works with only the “MyMTN app“. The MyMTN app detects the sim number automatically and uses it as a means to log you into the app.
With this, you do not need a username and password. However, for this to work, the sim must be the active sim in the phone where the app is installed.
Read this guide I wrote earlier about how to get Vodafone 1GB free using the Vodafone Ghana app. It should be a piece of helpful information for Vodafone Ghana users.
Remember, these shortcodes are specific to each network, so make sure you’re using the correct one for your network provider.
