If you forgot your iPhone's phone number, don't worry! There are several ways you can find it out quickly. From looking at your phone's settings to plugging into a computer and firing up iTunes (Windows) or Finder (Mac), this wikiHow article will teach you how to view your phone number on an iPhone.
Steps
Using Settings

1Open Settings. It's the app with gray cogs on one of your home screens. If you don’t see it on your home screen, check in a folder called "Utilities."
-
2Scroll down and tap Phone. You’ll see it in the fifth grouping of items.Advertisement
-
3View your phone number. Your number will be displayed at the top of the screen, along with its area/international code.

2Tap the Contacts tab. It's at the bottom of your screen.
- The first contact displayed is called "My Card" and it will contain your information, like your phone number.

3Tap "My Card." You'll see your information, like your phone number, displayed.
Using iTunes (Windows) or Finder (Mac)
