  • On the General screen, tap About.
  • Finally, scroll down to the Network section and copy the SIM card number – displayed as ICCID.
  • To copy the number, tap and hold the ICCID number until Copy is displayed above it. Then, tap Copy.
  • Paste the number in any app that allows pasting – apps like Note, WhatsApp, Skype, or email.

Option 2: Find ICCID on Android

Ideally, you should find your SIM number on Android from the About or About Phone settings. But, sometimes, for some reason, this information is not available.

The alternative and consistent method to find the SIM number on Android is to use an ICCID app. Follow the steps below to install an app I have tested and confirms that it works – then, use the app to view your SIM’s ICCID number.

  • Open the Play Store app on your Android phone.

  • Then, search iccid and open the highlighted app – SIM Data Reader.
I tried the first app on the list – SIM Serial Number (ICCID) – but it could not read the SIM number on ANdroid 10. This is correct as at the time of writing this Itechguide (April 2020).

  • When the app’s details opens, install it. Then, when the app is installed, tap Open.
  • When the app opens, it will request access to “make and manage phone calls” – tap Allow.
  • The app will display the ICCID of the SIMs on your phone. To share the SIM number (ICCID), tap the first of the highlighted icons (counting from left). You could also copy the numbers by tapping the copy icon – second icon.
