I forgot my STC number once after inserting a new SIM for data use. No balance. No saved contact. It took minutes to fix. STC provides multiple options so you never stay stuck. Each method suits a different situation.
Method 1: Check STC SIM Number Using USSD Code
This works fast and needs no internet or balance.
Steps
- Dial *150# from your STC SIM.
- Select language.
- Press 2 for English.
Your STC mobile number appears on the screen. Save it right away. I usually store it under “My Number” to avoid repeating this step.
This method works for prepaid and postpaid users.
Method 2: Send a Free “Please Call Me” SMS
This option helps when the code fails or the screen closes too fast.
How It Works
STC allows free call request messages. The receiver sees your number in the message.
Steps
- Dial *177*05XXXXXXXX#
- Replace the number with your friend’s mobile number.
- Press call.
Your friend receives a message showing your STC SIM number.
Limits
Up to 10 free messages per day.
No balance required.
I use this trick often with spare SIMs kept for travel.
Method 3: Check STC SIM Number by Calling Helpline
This method takes more time but works in all cases.
Steps
- Call 900 from your STC SIM.
- Press 1 to continue with the calling number.
- Press 9 for support.
- Press 2 or 6 to speak with an agent.
Ask the agent to confirm your SIM number. They can also send it by SMS after verification.
When I used it, I gave you the exact same numbers that I used myself. The numbers you need to press might change, but the method is the same. Just follow the instructions and press the buttons needed to reach an agent.
Method 4: Check STC SIM Number Using CITC Portal
This method works well if you manage many SIMs. To use this method, you will have to log in to the CITC portal. To log in, you will need the details of the Absher account, which is the login username and password. When you log in, your mobile number will be displayed. If you do not know how to log in, I have created a full detailed guide on this, so you can visit it and if you want to see how many numbers are under your Iqama, you can also see that in this guide.
What You Need
- Iqama number.
- Absher login details.
What You Get
- List of all SIM cards registered under your ID.
- Active STC mobile and data SIM numbers.
This helps track unused or forgotten SIMs tied to your name.
Method 5: Check STC SIM Number via MySTC App
This is the most organized option.
Steps
- Install MySTC app from Play Store or App Store.
- Register using your ID or SIM.
- Open dashboard.
Your SIM number shows under managed lines.
Extra Benefits
View balance and data usage.
Pay bills.
Recharge prepaid SIMs.
Manage multiple numbers under one ID.
I keep the app installed even when switching phones.
Method 6: Visit an STC Store
This works when digital options feel confusing.
What to Bring
Iqama or national ID.
STC staff checks your registered numbers and confirms the SIM number linked to you. This helps when SIM remains inactive for long periods.
Why People Forget Their STC SIM Number
This happens more than expected.
- New SIM activation
- Data only SIM use
- Dual SIM phones
- Rarely used spare numbers

I faced this issue after buying a data SIM for a tablet. No calls. No saved contacts. The USSD code solved it.
