Are you having trouble remembering your own Airtel phone number? Don’t worry, it happens to the best of us! Luckily, there are several quick and easy ways to find your Airtel number in Kenya.
Here’s a quick guide:
1. Use a USSD Code (Simple & Efficient):
USSD (Unstructured Supplementary Service Data) is a handy Airtel service that lets you check your phone number directly on your phone. Here’s how:
- Insert your active Airtel SIM card into your phone.
- Dial *100#
- Select 1 for My Number
- You’ll see your Airtel number displayed on the screen.
2. Top Up & Call a Friend (Alternative Method):
If you can’t remember the USSD code, no problem! You can still find your number with a quick top-up and a call to a friend:
- Top up your Airtel line with airtime.
- Call a friend’s number (or send a text message).
- Ask your friend to read back the number they see on their phone (it’s your Airtel number!).
3. Check the SIM Card Holder (For New SIMs):
Your Airtel phone number might be printed on the original plastic holder that came with your SIM card. If you have it handy, check there for the 10-digit number starting with +254.
Bonus Airtel Number Info:
- Airtel Line Registration: Ensure your Airtel line is registered in your name for smooth service. Dial *100#, select “Manage My Account” (option 2), then “Registration Status” (option 6). A text will confirm your registration status. If not registered, visit an Airtel agent with your ID for registration.
- Airtel Kopa Credo (Advance Credit): Need some extra airtime? Dial *221# or *310# to access Airtel Kopa Credo (availability depends on your eligibility).
