Finding the phone number for a new 3 data SIM (1 Viewer)

[Matt_e]

I have an Avtex AMR994X 4g wifi unit, and am trying to register a new 3 payg data sim. Issue is I need to find the phone number for the sim (which does not appear to be printed on the sim or packaging).

Going into the Avtex advanced menu, Cellular settings I can see values for the IMEI, IMSI and plenty of other information... and a blank next to the'Phone Number'

I have tried 3 online chat (useless - they kept giving me the number for my main phone), and I cannot put the sim in my phone because the Avtex needs a full size sim while my phone needs nano size. I have also tried resetting the Avtex and even waiting a day and trying again.

And without the phone number, I cannot register the SIM with 3 and cannot put any credit on it.

Has anyone hit and solved this conundrum?

Thank you.

If it's not loaded why not get another SIM?

Weird that the number is not present on any packaging, it should be. Are you able to txt your mobile phone from within the router app? Appreciate you are trying to add credit but it might let you have one txt.

I cannot put the sim in my phone because the Avtex needs a full size sim while my phone needs nano size.

Pretty much every SIM card these days is multi-size....just carefully snap out the nano SIM part, put it in your phone to get the number. And then put the nano part back in the full size SIM and put it in your TV.

I often switch one of our SIMs between the mifi (full size) and a backup phone (nano).

Put it in a phone and ring another mobile

I have 4 spare SMARTY SIMS if you (anyone) want(s) one, assuming you are not near North London/Herts, just pay postage. Then set up a data package without autorenew and away you go ;-)

Should be on the credit card sized plastic in which the SIM came and which you broke the SIM out of.

Put it in a phone and dial
star, hash, 100, hash.

I may not have the correct details, but here goes....

1. Put the new sim into the wifi unit and switch it on.

2. With a tablet or phone, in settings search wifi for your wifi unit and connect.

3 When connected, in your browser search bar type...
http://192.168.1.1 or http://192.168.8.1 and this should take you to your settings.

4. Have a mooch around in there and you might find the number on the sim?

I think Minxy may have some idea on this?

I'm sure I suggested that on another thread recently ... or are we the same person meaning I've got a split personality!

You're pretty spot on however it might be possible to send a text from the control panel to a phone to get the number that way. It's a long time since I've had a data only sim so I can't be more precise.

I had terrible problems with 3G, customer service was terrible, had to ring them 5 times to get them to tell me the phone number and on top of all that it was truly rubbish at getting data. Best I EVER achieved was 11Mbps, I need at least 15Mbps for my TV. Gave up, got a refund, got an IQ mobile data sim instead. OUTSTANDING! We are on Il de Re in France ATM, watched England v Slovenia last night no issues. The worst Up load speed I’ve had was 87Mbps, normally around 120Mbps. Again I say OUTSTANDING! And customer service is with a guy (normally Fraser) in the UK, even when phoning from France to figure out router settings.
