    Try ringing customer services and ask them to read it to you, or try looking to see if it's printed on the sim

    if you have a sony ericsson phone, just press one of the volume buttons while the phone is on the standby screen.

    or go into contacts/phonebook and look for special numbers ( contacts > advanced > my numbers for SE phones)
  • Try dialling star/hash/100/hash

    (sorry, no hash key on this computer so I had to type it out!)

    any phone with a vodafone sim in it will support this, but no other networks support this feature AFAIK

    if you have a landline just phone it but don't answer then look at the caller display or dial 1471 if you don't have caller ID
