Where to find your Verizon phone number

Your Verizon phone number appears in several places, and the fastest route depends on what device you have in front of you right now. If you have your phone, dial *#*#4636#*#* on Android or check Settings > Phone > My Number on iPhone — your number will display when ready. If you do not have the phone itself, log into your Verizon account online or open the My Verizon app, go to Account, then My Plan, and your phone number will be listed next to your device name.

Your bill is another reliable source. Open your most recent Verizon invoice — paper or PDF — and look at the top of the first page. Your phone number appears next to "Account Number" or under the service address. If you have lost access to your account and do not have a recent bill, call Verizon customer service at 1-908-559-4899 from any phone. They will ask for your name and account PIN to verify your identity, then read your number back to you.

Key Takeaways

  • On your Verizon phone, dial *#*#4636#*#* on Android or check Settings > Phone > My Number on iPhone to see your number when ready.
  • Log into your My Verizon account online or through the app and navigate to Account > My Plan to find your phone number listed with your device.
  • Your Verizon bill — whether paper or digital — displays your phone number at the top of the first page.
  • If you cannot access your phone, account, or bill, call Verizon customer service at 1-908-559-4899 and provide your name and account PIN.

Checking your number through the My Verizon app

The My Verizon app is the fastest route if you have already set up your account on your phone. Open the app and tap the Account icon at the bottom of the screen — it looks like a person's silhouette. Tap My Plan or My Devices, depending on your app version. Your phone number will appear next to the device name, usually at the top of the list.

If you have multiple lines on your account, each one will be listed separately. Tap on the line you want to check, and the full phone number displays. This method works whether you are on WiFi or cellular data, and you do not need to be connected to Verizon's network specifically.

Finding your number on your Verizon bill

Your Verizon bill is a document you can hold in your hand, which makes it useful when you cannot access your phone or online account. The phone number appears in the top section of the bill, usually labeled as "Phone Number" or "Service Number." On a paper bill, this is typically in the upper right corner. On a digital bill viewed as a PDF, scroll to the top of the first page.

If you receive a combined bill for multiple lines, each phone number will be listed separately, often with the account holder's name next to it. Bills are usually sent monthly, so your most recent one will have your current number. If you have switched numbers recently, an older bill may show a different number, so check the date on the bill before relying on it.

What to do if you cannot remember your account PIN

Your account PIN is a four-digit code that Verizon uses to verify your identity over the phone. If you have forgotten it, you can reset it through your online account. Log into My Verizon, go to Account Settings, then Security, and look for Account PIN. You will be asked to verify your identity using your Social Security number or other account details before you can change it.

If you cannot log into your account online, call Verizon customer service at 1-908-559-4899. Tell them you need to reset your PIN. They will ask you security questions based on your account history — such as previous addresses or payment methods — to confirm you are the account holder. Once verified, they can reset your PIN and send you a new one, or help you retrieve your phone number without the PIN.

Retrieving your number if you switched phones

When you move your Verizon service to a new phone, your phone number stays the same. The new phone will display your number in the same places as before: through the dialer code on Android, Settings on iPhone, or through the My Verizon app. If your new phone has not yet activated on Verizon's network, the number may not appear until set up is complete — this usually takes a few minutes to a few hours.

If you switched to a new phone and your number is not showing up after several hours, restart the phone. If it still does not appear, open the My Verizon app or log into your account online to confirm the number is still active on your account. If the number shows in your account but not on the phone itself, contact Verizon customer service to check the set up status.

Why you might need your Verizon phone number

You may need to provide your Verizon phone number when setting up two-factor authentication for other accounts, registering a device with a service, or giving someone your contact information. Having it memorized or written down in a safe place saves time when you need it quickly. Some people take a screenshot of their My Verizon account page showing their number, or write it on a card they keep in their wallet.

If you are troubleshooting a Verizon service issue, customer service will ask for your phone number to pull up your account. Having it ready speeds up the call. If you are porting your number to a different carrier, you will need to provide it to the new carrier as part of the transfer process.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I see my Verizon phone number without logging into my account?

Yes. On your Verizon phone itself, dial *#*#4636#*#* on Android or go to Settings > Phone > My Number on iPhone. Your number will display without requiring a login. You can also check a paper or digital copy of your Verizon bill, which lists your number at the top.

What if I have multiple phone numbers on one Verizon account?

Log into My Verizon and go to Account > My Plan or My Devices. Each line will be listed separately with its own phone number. Tap on the line you want to check to see its full number. Your bill will also list each number separately if you have multiple lines.

Does my phone number change if I get a new Verizon phone?

No. When you switch to a new phone on the same Verizon account, your phone number stays the same. The new phone will display your number in the same places as your old phone once it activates on Verizon's network, which usually takes a few hours.

What should I do if my phone number is not showing on my new phone?

Restart your phone first — this often fixes the issue. If the number still does not appear after a few hours, check your My Verizon account online to confirm the number is active. If it shows in your account but not on the phone, contact Verizon customer service to check the set up status of your device.
