Dial the code for your network. It is free, and the number comes back on screen or by text.
| Network | Dial |
|---|---|
| MTN | *156#, then choose My Number |
| Telecel | *127# |
| AT (AirtelTigo) | *703# |
MTN’s own help centre gives *156#. The Telecel and AT codes are the ones in long use; networks change their menus, so if one stops working, check the network’s app or ask at one of its shops.
Other ways
- The SIM pack. A new SIM’s number is printed on the card it came in.
- The network’s app shows the number on its first screen once you sign in on that phone.
- Your phone’s settings, under the SIM card, on most Android phones - though it is often blank, because not every SIM stores it.
- Call or text someone you trust and ask them to read it back.
Is it registered to you?
A SIM in Ghana must be registered to a Ghana Card, and one person may hold at most 10 SIMs across all the networks. If you bought a used phone, or someone else registered a SIM for you, check that the number is registered in your name: the network’s registration code or a shop will show the name it is under. A number registered to someone else can be taken back by them, and its MoMo account is theirs.
