Ufone offers a unique service “Double Number” with which Ufone customers can have two numbers in one SIM. So you do not need to have 2 SIMs for 2 numbers – now one serves the purpose.

In Double Number offer, you will get two numbers one as primary and the other as virtual. The primary number is the one you are already using and another virtual number will be assigned to your SIM.

How To Subscribe?

Dial *66# from your Ufone number and the system will chose a random number for you. Once the number is assigned, you will receive a confirmation message containing your virtual number.

How To Use?

With your virtual number you can make calls and even send SMS. Procedure is simple, all you have to do is to add a prefix of “66″ before the number.

For example, the virtual number assigned to you is 03331234567. With this, you want to call on 03337654321. So you will dial the number as 6603337654321. And the receiver will receive call from your virtual number i.e 03331234567.

Same is the procedure for sending SMS. just add 66 before the receiver’s number.

So, if you have primary number as 03330005150 and secondary number as 03331234567. If you will make call or send sms just typing the number 03337654321, the receiver’s CLI will shwo the number 03330005150 and if you dial the number 6603337654321, the receiver’s CLI will show the number as 03331234567
