Xiaomi: Set Up Fixed Dialing Numbers (FDN)

If your Xiaomi phone suddenly refuses to dial certain numbers, Fixed Dialing Numbers might be limiting outgoing calls and texts to a preset list. This SIM-level restriction blocks any number that is not on the approved list, even a local number with the right area code. Turning the feature on or off always requires PIN 2, not the regular SIM PIN, which trips up most people who try it for the first time.

Set Up Fixed Dialing Numbers (FDN) auf Xiaomi

Fixed Dialing Numbers (FDN) is a SIM card feature, not a phone setting. When it is active, only the numbers stored on the FDN list can be called or texted from that SIM slot. Every other number gets rejected instantly, which looks like a network problem but actually comes from this restriction.

Because FDN lives on the SIM, enabling or editing it always asks for PIN 2. This is a separate code from your everyday SIM PIN, usually supplied by your carrier. Enter it wrong too many times and the SIM can lock, so keep the correct PIN 2 ready before you start.

To reach the setting: Tap on PhoneOpen the MenuTap on SettingsTap on Calling accountsTap on Advanced settingsTap on Fixed Dialing NumbersChoose a SIM card (Dual SIM)Turn On/Off Fixed Dialing Numbers and set the FDN list.

Use FDN when you need to limit a device to a fixed set of contacts, for example a child's phone or a company line. For everyday use without restrictions, leave it turned off.

Frequently asked questions

Without the correct PIN 2 you cannot enable, disable, or edit the FDN list. Contact your carrier to retrieve it, since entering the wrong code repeatedly can lock the SIM.
