Anybody got a method for finding the phone number of the SIM card in the boot, beyond removing it?

And, no, I don't have the original documentation - that's far too organised.

Did you buy the SIM yourself?
Is it the free Volvo SIM?

I'm no expert but I don't think the telephone number is printed on the SIM.

If you log onto your SIM account over the internet (with Vodafone if it's the free SIM or your own network if you provided the SIM) then the account details would tell you the IMSI number, it may even tell you the telephone number.

You need some basic info to obtain the number, and that requires some level of organisation :)

You might try to check the USSD coses which you can post from central console. It may be that one of them works: https://www.quora.com/How-do-I-find-my-mobile-number-through-a-dial-pad

Good plan, but can't find the correct USSD code.

It was just a Three PAYG sim that I slapped in three months ago and I thought it might need a top-up. I'll just buy another one and keep the relevant documents in a safe place this time i.e. organised

ps - for those that are wondering why not go the free Vodaphone sim route - it seems a bit of a faff with registering etc. A Three £10 sim is still going in my car after 3 months, and there's always the option of bluetooth data sharing. I download maps on the drive using wifi.

There certainly is. Took 3 weeks to get the 100 gb Sim card off the stealer though!!

Momentum Pro D3, didn’t find a SIM in mine, it was empty, so got a 2GB SIM from EE to try but haven’t done so yet.
Funny and unfair if some models come complete with a SIM

They don't, you have to ask the dealer for the free Volvo Vodafone 100gb/12month SIM.

Either get the dealer to install and register or do it yourself.
