Zain KSA offers not one but three separate codes that all return the exact same information — your number. If you’ve only ever used *144#, the other two aren’t backups for when it fails; they’re simply alternate paths to an identical answer.
Quick answer
Dial *144#, *23#, or *34# — all three show your Zain KSA number identically. Or send a blank SMS to 700123.
Why three codes exist
*144# tends to be the most widely documented, but *23# is the shortest to type — three characters versus five. There’s no functional difference; pick whichever is easiest for you to remember, and ignore the others.
The SMS alternative
If USSD pop-ups don’t display properly on your phone model, send a blank text message to 700123 and Zain replies with your number via SMS instead.
