Question

I’m programming Apps in Android 2.2.
I tried to get my phone number in Android but can’t…
As below , this is my code for get phone number : ( device for Apps – SamSung Galaxy Plus )

public static String getMyPhoneNumber(Context aContext){
    TelephonyManager mTelephonyMgr;
    mTelephonyMgr = (TelephonyManager) aContext
            .getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
    return mTelephonyMgr.getLine1Number();
}

String phone = getMyPhoneNumber(getApplicationContext());// return "" in here

I have added the “android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE” in Androidmanifest.xml
but when I run apps, the Phone is EMPTY…

I don’t know why , although I get the ” getSimSerialNumber(), getSimOperatorName(),getSimOperator(),…” is OK !

The method “getLine1Number()” always return “” value.
If you known that , please help me !

Try using getSubscriberId() which is the IMSI for the phone.
