How Can I Find Out My Landline Number?

If you have a landline phone but don’t know the number, don’t worry—there are several quick and easy ways to find out your landline number, even if you don’t have a bill or caller ID.


📞 1. Use the Phone to Call a Mobile

The easiest method:

  1. Pick up your landline phone
  2. Call your mobile phone
  3. Check the caller ID or missed call list on your mobile

✅ Your landline number will be displayed.


☎️ 2. Dial a Special Code (UK)

Try these codes:

  • BT (British Telecom):
    Dial 1470 17070 and listen — it may say your number aloud.
  • TalkTalk / Sky / other UK providers:
    Also try *#100# — your number may appear on screen or be spoken.

📌 Note: These codes don’t work with all providers, but they’re worth trying.


📜 3. Check a Recent Bill or Contract

Look at:

  • Your landline bill (paper or digital)
  • The account setup email or letter from your provider
  • Your online account with your phone/internet provider

🛜 4. Log Into Your Broadband/Phone Account

If your landline is part of a phone + broadband bundle, log in to your provider’s website:

  • BT, Sky, Virgin Media, TalkTalk, Plusnet, etc.
  • Go to your account dashboard
  • Your phone number is usually listed under “Line details” or “My services”

📱 5. Ask a Friend or Call Customer Service

  • Call a friend or family member from your landline and ask them to read back the number that appears
  • Or call your phone provider’s customer service and ask them to confirm your number (they may ask for account details)
