Your Vodafone dongle's own number is stored on the SIM card inside it, and you can retrieve it in several ways: through the My Vodafone dashboard, via the dongle's admin interface, or by reading it directly off the SIM. The quickest route for most people is the My Vodafone account page, which takes about two minutes.
Slide the front cover off the dongle and remove the SIM card. The number is printed on the SIM card itself, usually in small text below the gold chip. If you still have the original box, the number also appears on a sticker on the outside packaging. The dongle's IMEI number (a separate 15-digit hardware identifier) is printed on the body of the device, but that is not the same as your SIM or phone number.
Log in at vodafone.co.uk with your Vodafone username and password. Once you are in, hover over your name in the top-right corner and select Account settings. Scroll to the Your products section and click View all. Find your dongle in the list. The number associated with it appears next to the device name. Click it to confirm the full number.
Vodafone publishes setup guidance through its official Support Centre at vodafone.co.uk if you need further help with account access.
Plug the dongle into a USB port on your computer. Once your computer recognises it, open a browser and go to 192.168.0.1 (the default admin address for most Vodafone dongles). Log in with the admin password printed on the dongle or its box. Look under the "Device information" or "SIM information" section. The MSISDN field shows your dongle's phone number.
Some Vodafone SIM cards respond to the short code *#100# followed by the call button, which sends a text back with your own number. This works if your dongle supports voice or SMS functions. Many data-only dongles do not, so the My Vodafone dashboard or admin page are more reliable options.
Vodafone Pro Broadband includes a WiFi Booster and a Broadband Back-up dongle. The back-up dongle has its own SIM number, separate from your home broadband account number. Find it using the same My Vodafone steps above, or check the SIM card directly after sliding off the front cover and inserting the SIM as described in Vodafone's setup guidance.
Call Vodafone customer services on 191 from a Vodafone mobile, or 03333 040 191 from any other phone. Have the dongle's IMEI number ready (printed on the device body). The team can look up the associated SIM number on their system in a few minutes.
