If you’ve used balance-check codes on any other GCC operator before, don’t assume they’ll work on Batelco — Bahrain’s oldest network runs its own distinct numbering scheme, split across more separate codes than most operators in this guide, and none of them overlap with what you’d dial on Etisalat, STC, or Zain.
Quick answer
Dial *122*60# for your main prepaid credit in BHD. For data specifically, dial *888*1*1#. To find your own number, dial *751#.
Batelco’s full code set
| What you need | Code |
|---|---|
| Main credit balance (BHD) | *122*60# |
| Data/internet balance | *888*1*1# |
| Your own number | *751# |
| SimSim weekly package balance | *122*109# |
| SimSim monthly package balance | *122*110# |
Why so many distinct codes?
Rather than one universal code branching into a menu, Batelco assigns each balance type — credit, data, number, and SimSim package tiers — its own dedicated number. The upside is each code answers exactly one question with no menu navigation; the downside is you genuinely need to know which code maps to which question, since guessing based on other GCC operators’ conventions won’t help here.
The typo risk with *888*1*1#
This code has more asterisks than most — miscounting them (dialling *888*11# or *8881*1# instead) is the most common reason it returns “invalid code.” Type it slowly and double-check each asterisk before pressing call.
Batelco app

Troubleshooting
*122*60# returns "invalid code" error
Make sure you are typing the code exactly as *122*60# — including both asterisks and the hash symbol. Some phones auto-correct or skip special characters. Try typing it slowly and verify before pressing Call.
Balance not updating after recharge
Wait 2-3 minutes after recharging and try again. If the balance still shows the old amount, restart your phone and redial *122*60#. If the issue persists, call 196 for support.
