Zain is a Kuwaiti mobile service provider founded in 1983 with current headquarters located in Kuwait City, the capital of the country. The company has a commercial presence in seven countries, but in this article, we will only talk about the carrier in Kuwait. If you too are a subscriber in that country and want to know your Zain phone number, this guide is for you. We assume you have forgotten or lost your phone number. However, there is nothing to worry about as there are multiple courses to check your Zain SIM phone number. These methods are not time-consuming and are easy to follow. Without further delay, let’s start demonstrating these techniques.
1. Check the Number Printed on Zain SIM Card Kit/Packet
Almost every SIM card selling company has the phone number printed on the cover of its kit. Especially when you have bought the SIM recently, it is recommended not to throw away the package or kit it came in. Well, at least until you remember it. Therefore, this is the fastest way to discover your SIM number for Zain, as no procedures are necessary, and you won’t need anybody’s help. If you want to discard the packet, take the picture of the SIM number printed on it first. Alternatively, note it down for future use.
2. Open Your Zain KW App
Whenever you forget your SIM number, just open up the Zain KW app, and you will see your number on the home screen. However, this method will only function if you stay logged in to your Zain KW app. In case you are a first-time user, download the app and then register yourself using the Zain number (figure it out using any other process we provided). Once you are logged in, you can open up the app anytime, and can see your number on its dashboard or home screen. Thus, for forgetful people, this method works best. However, remember that it is an online method, so to run the app you will always need an active internet connection.
3. Examine Number for Zain SIM via USSD Codes
USSD codes are unique codes every mobile operator allocates to permit its customers to scour the various details of their user accounts. This code varies based on the situation and the goal. Through USSD codes you can get to know about your remaining balance, data usage, expiry date, and more. In the same manner, you can come to know what your phone number is. To check your Zain Kuwait SIM number, do the following:
- Dial *8# or *34# from your Zain SIM.
- Press the Send/OK/Call button. In a second, a flash message will pop up showing your MSISDN number, which is actually your phone number.
- Jot the number down or take a screenshot of it.
4. Use Zain SIM to Call or Text Another Number
To use this method, you should have sufficient balance in your Zain SIM to make a call or send an SMS, preferably locally. Just give a missed call to someone nearby from your Zain SIM and check your number on their phone’s screen. Even when there is no one close by, you may call somebody you know from your mobile number. Then, ask them to tell you which phone number is showing on their screen during the call. You can also text them and request they text you back with the number they received an SMS from.
5. Inspect People’s Phone Book for Your Zain SIM Number
If you use your Zain SIM number actively, your number must be saved in some people’s contact lists. Ask those with whom you have possibly shared your Zain number, and they might be capable of revealing it to you. If they have saved it in their phone book, that is. But if the Zain SIM is newly purchased, the chances of retrieving your phone number this way are slim to none.
6. Contact the Zain Customer Support Team
To contact the customer service representative, you can either call the Zain helpline number or visit the nearest Zain store/outlet. If your SIM card is damaged, it is better to opt for the latter option, ask for its phone number, and get a new SIM card with the same one. To save time, you can also dial the Zain customer service number at 107 (toll-free) from your Zain SIM. Then, talk to the customer care personnel about your forgotten number. They will reveal your number after verifying your name and more details regarding your identity, so keep your ID handy.
There could be possibly some more ways to discover your Zain SIM number. However, all the major ones are already shown in this article. No matter whether you use these methods or some other technique, always remember to note down your SIM number somewhere you can access it easily.
