Cellular Phone Forum / Country Specific / UK Group / March 2008Universal code for own number
A few days ago a friend showed me an email he had received which quoted a code that can be keyed into virtually any mobile phone to get it to display the phone number of the SIM card in it. I can't remember the code exactly, but it did work on my phone (Nokia 1100). The code was, IIRC: one or both of # and * followed by a 2 or 3 digit number containing a 6, then one or both of # and *. Can somebody inform us what that code is?

I wouldn't have remembered it as being useful otherwise.

Indeed. But it gives the IMEI, not the phone number, as I noted. Most phones have a menu entry for this (the real phone number); all the ones I've ever owned, anyway.

There are exceptions, but the phone number is not normally stored on the SIM card. The SIM card contains a unique number which, when registered on a mobile network, allows the network operator to associate that SIM card with a phone number. Because of this, its unlikely that any command of the type you mention would work on most phones.

If you read the whole thread, you'll find that that is what I said all along. And indeed it was the point of my original reply.

My Nokia (on TalkMobile which uses the Vodaphone network) came with a pre-configured entry in the 'names' for 'My Number'. The code there is *#100# but I supppose other networks might have other codes.

There isn't one. IMEI number is *#06#, but that has nothing to do with phone number. Why not just ask your friend again?
