How to Know Your 9mobile Number (and Similar Questions)
There are several ways to find your 9mobile number, and the following methods apply to checking your number with most Nigerian mobile networks (MTN, Glo, Airtel, etc.):
1. USSD Code: This is the quickest and most convenient option. Dial *248# on your phone and your 9mobile number will be displayed on the screen.
2. Call a Friend (with a Twist): Use a “Call Me Back” request. Dial 2664 * Friend’s Number # (replacing “Friend’s Number” with your friend’s actual number). When your friend receives the callback request, they will see your 9mobile number displayed on their caller ID.
3. Check the SIM Packaging: The number might be printed on the back if you have the original packaging.
4. Visit a Store or Contact Customer Care: For those who prefer a more personal touch, visit a 9mobile Experience Center or call customer care at 200.

Fast and Free: USSD Code to the Rescue
The most convenient method to check your 9mobile number is through a USSD code. USSD stands for Unstructured Supplementary Service Data, and it’s a handy menu system accessed directly on your phone. Here’s what to do:
- Open your phone’s dial pad.
- Dial *248#
- Your 9mobile number will be displayed on the screen.
This method is completely free and works anytime you need a quick reminder.
Alternative Methods: Call a Friend or Check the SIM Packaging
If you’re unable to use the USSD code, don’t worry! Here are a couple of alternative options:
- Send a “Call Me Back” Request: This trick works by utilizing a special code that sends a request to your friend’s phone asking them to call you back. When your friend receives the call, they will see your 9mobile number displayed on their caller ID. Here’s how to do it:
- Dial 2664*Friend’s Number# (Replace “Friend’s Number” with your friend’s actual phone number).
- Check the SIM Packaging: If you still have the original packaging your 9mobile SIM card came in, the number might be printed on the back.
