[android] How to get the mobile number of current sim card in real device?

I have to make an application which shows the contact no of the SIM card that is being used in the cell. For that I need to use TelephonyManager class. Can I get details on its usage?

This question is related to android phone-number

The answer is


Sometimes you can retreive the phonenumber with a USSD request to your operator. For example I can get my phonenumber by dialing *116# This can probably be done within an app, I guess, if the USSD responce somehow could be catched. Offcourse this is not a method I would recommend to use within an app that is to be distributed, the code may even differ between operators.


Well, all could be temporary hacks, but there is no way to get mobile number of a user. It is against ethical policy.

For eg, one of the answers above suggests getting all accounts and extracting from there. And it doesn't work anymore! All of these are hacks only.

Only way to get user's mobile number is going through operator. If you have a tie-up with mobile operators like Aitel, Vodafone, etc, you can get user's mobile number in header of request from mobile handset when connected via mobile network internet.

Not sure if any manufacturer tie ups to get specific permissions can help - not explored this area, but nothing documented atleast.

Yes, You have to use Telephony Manager;If at all you not found the contact no. of user; You can get Sim Serial Number of Sim Card and Imei No. of Android Device by using the same Telephony Manager Class...

Add permission:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE"/>

Import:

import android.telephony.TelephonyManager;

Use the below code:

TelephonyManager tm = (TelephonyManager)getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);

         // get IMEI
         imei = tm.getDeviceId();

         // get SimSerialNumber
         simSerialNumber = tm.getSimSerialNumber();

Hi Actually this is my same question but I didn't get anything.Now I got mobile number and his email-Id from particular Android real device(Android Mobile).Now a days 90% people using what's App application on Android Mobile.And now I am getting Mobile no and email-ID Through this What's app API.Its very simple to use see this below code.

            AccountManager am = AccountManager.get(this);
            Account[] accounts = am.getAccounts();
      for (Account ac : accounts) 
       {
        acname = ac.name;

        if (acname.startsWith("91")) {
            mobile_no = acname;
        }else if(acname.endsWith("@gmail.com")||acname.endsWith("@yahoo.com")||acname.endsWith("@hotmail.com")){
            email = acname;
        }

        // Take your time to look at all available accounts
        Log.i("Accounts : ", "Accounts : " + acname);
    }

and import this API

    import android.accounts.Account;
    import android.accounts.AccountManager;

As many said:

String phoneNumber = TelephonyManager.getDefault().getLine1Number();

The availability depends strictly on the carrier and the way the number is encoded on the SIM card. If it is hardcoded by the company that makes the SIMs or by the mobile carrier itself. This returns the same as in Settings->about phone.
