Here's how you can find your SIM card number using your phone or device.
Before you start.
Your SIM card number (which is also called the ICCID) is the long number shown on your SIM card's packaging for a physical SIM.
ICCID stands for Integrated Circuit Card Identification.
The number is also printed on the SIM card, but if you used the smaller-sized Nano-SIM, then it may not be shown. So it's quite handy to tuck the packaging away somewhere that you'll remember, or to make a note of your number.
Your SIM card number is really useful when you want to swap your number and account to a new SIM.
Steps
iOS - iPhone (eSIM/Physical SIM)
If you have an iPhone you can look it up on the phone if you don't have the packaging or want to pull out the SIM card.
- Tap Settings
- Scroll down and tap General
- Tap About
- Scroll down to ICCID.
The ICCID is the SIM Card number + 2 digits at the front + 1 digit at the end- Your SIM Card number is the number between these extra digits
- Example 126401xxxxxxxxxxxx34
Other Devices (eSIM/Physical SIM)
You'll need to check your phone's user guide
to see if it stores this information.
Most operating systems do not have this function - if it is a physical SIM, you may need to look at your SIM card itself.
