Forgetting the number of a SIM card that has not been used for some time is quite simple. This often happens with Tele2 customers and subscribers of other mobile operators. To remember which number was purchased some time ago, it is enough to find the documentation that was issued when buying a kit in a communication salon. But what if the papers are lost? Is there a special USSD command "Tele2"? Is it possible to find out your number in this case?
Possible number recovery options
- View documentation. When buying a SIM card, a number of documents are issued to the owner. They contain information about which Tele2 team allows you to find out your number.
- Call another phone, preferably a mobile or landline with caller ID.
- There is an opportunity to find out the Tele2 phone number through your gadget (the command that you will need to dial will be given below). The number information will be sent to the subscriber as a text message.
- Call the contact center operator and ask for a number.
Let's take a closer look at each of these options in more detail
Call another phone
Subscribers do not always guess about such a banal way of checking their number. Of course, it may be that the second device to which you can make a call is not at hand at the moment. In this case, other methods of clarifying the information should be used. This option may not work if the Caller ID service is activated on the SIM card. Then, when calling from an "unknown" SIM card, it will be impossible to correctly determine the number.
Short request from SIM card
If the SIM card is active, then by inserting it into a mobile device, you can quickly find out its number. For this, a special Tele2 command must be recruited. You can find out your number by entering the request 201. In response, information about the subscriber's number will be received. At the same time, it is important that the SIM card is valid, that is, when a mobile gadget is installed in the slot, the Tele2 network should be displayed on the display. Otherwise, the execution of this and any other command will be impossible, as well as, in principle, the use of communication services.
Call the operator to the contact center
Not always the USSD-command "Tele2" can be entered to clarify the number. You can find out your number through a contact center employee. By calling from the SIM card on which there is a question, to the callcenter on a single toll-free number 611, you should ask the employee to dictate the number from which the call was made. It is impossible to surprise a Tele2 employee with such a question, because many “forgetful” subscribers regularly deal with a similar problem. The specialist will tell you the number or offer to write down a USSD request, with which the subscriber will be able to clarify the number.
Restoring information about the number, if the SIM card is not detected in the device
If the SIM card has not been used for a long time, then it could well have been blocked at the initiative of the Tele2 operator due to the lack of paid actions on the number. In this case, to find out the number of such a SIM card, you will have to go to the operator's office. By presenting a passport to an employee of the branch, you can request information about the numbers that are registered for the current client. After the SIM has been blocked for quite a long time, there is a risk that the information will not be provided. By the way, you will need to do the same in situations where the SIM card is damaged and it is not possible to use it in a smartphone or tablet. Having visited the communication salon with an identity card, the owner of the number will be able not only to find out the number, but also to get a new one instead of a damaged SIM card.
Useful commands
There are also a number of useful USSD requests that may be of interest to Tele2 subscribers (a command to find out if the number is paid, clarify the terms of use of the tariff, etc.).

- 153 - information about the options connected on the SIM card;
- 125 - a command to clarify the cost of sending a text message or making a call to a short number (in order to see how much one SMS or a minute of a call to a specific short number will cost, dial 125NNNN, in response, a notification will be sent with the name of the content provider and cost).
