Airtel Phone Number Checker

However, you can follow these steps:
- Dial *121#

This is absolutely free!
2. My Airtel App
To check your Airtel phone number via the ‘My Airtel’ app, follow these steps:
- Download and install the ‘My Airtel App’ on your device via the Google play store or the app store.
- Click on the ‘Manage My Account’ icon in the App.
- From the menu, select ‘View and add Account’. Your account information, including the details of your Airtel phone number, will appear.
This method is also simple as well, but there’s more!
3. Sending a ‘Call Me Back’ SMS
Sending a call me SMS is absolutely free and below are the outlined steps on how to use it to check your phone number.
- Just dial *140*(the number of your friend)#
- On doing this, your number will be displayed on your friend’s phone screen alongside the ‘please call me back’ message.
- Check your friend’s phone to get the displayed number, which is actually your Airtel phone number.
4. Calling a Friend
Calling a friend is also a proven way to check your Airtel phone number.
Just get a friend’s phone number (especially one that is just close by).
Call him/her with the Airtel line you wish to know about its digits.
When it rings, get your friend’s phone and see the number, that’s it!
5. Via the Customer Service
Calling the Airtel customer service is also an effective way of getting your account information – your phone number inclusive.
Though this method may seem so unpopular however, it is actually quite easy and is absolutely free as well.
- Just call the Airtel customer care support team by dialing 121 from your mobile phone.
- Press 1 for mobile services.
- Follow the instructions that will be provided by the Interactive Voice Response (IVR) to know your mobile number and other relevant details.
Airtel PUK Number Checker
The PUK (Personal Unblocking Key) is a unique code or set of numbers linked to your mobile phone’s SIM card.
It is usually required if you have set a SIM card lock and, in trying to unlock it, you entered the wrong code up to three times.
Thus, the importance of knowing your PUK number cannot be overemphasized.
Here are the best ways to check and retrieve your Airtel PUK number.
1. USSD Code
Unlike the MTN network, Airtel has made it quite easy to check or retrieve your PUK number by using a USSD code.
Dial *121*3*7# and your Airtel PUK number will immediately be displayed on the screen.
However, you can as well follow these steps:
- Dial *121#
- Select 3 (Manage My Account), from the numbered options available on the menu box.
- Finally, reply with 7 (My PUK) to the next prompt that appears. Your PUK number will then be displayed on the screen.
In case you have lost your SIM pack, kindly save the PUK number somewhere, or better still, write it somewhere safe.
It might not be that easy again to check your PUK number, especially when the SIM card is already locked.
2. Calling the Airtel Customer Service
Calling the Airtel customer service via 121 may also be an effective way to get your Airtel PUK number, especially if the SIM has already been blocked.
Airtel Tariff Plan Checker
Your tariff plan determines how and what you’ll be charged for the calls that you’ll make.
Here are the steps to check your Airtel tariff plan.
- Dial *121# on the desired Airtel line.
- Select 3 (Manage My Account) from numbered options on the menu box that appears.
- Select 5 (My Tariff Plan). You will then be notified of your current tariff plan almost immediately.
Dial *121*3*5# on the desired Airtel line and your current tariff plan will be made known to you.
‘My Airtel App‘ is also another easy way of checking your Airtel tariff plan.
You can as well call the Airtel customer service support to inquire about your tariff plan.
It’s straightforward.
