Hi,

Does anyone know how to obtain the phone's own mobile number? I can't find this information anywhere, but it seems like it should be possible - I would like to minimize user input.

Hi mango7,

I searched a little bit through the PyS60 Library Reference and I haven't found anything about retrieving the device's number. I have never seen such an example about this, what makes me believe it's not possible

Although, I can't assure you, as I'm not completely sure about this.


BR,

Hi mango7
Both rafael and james1980 are correct and there is no means that you can get the mobile number.
You need to make that a user input parametre.

Thanks, just knowing it's not possible is helpful!

Just quick addition.
The thing is that the phone really does not know "its" phone number. Matching the IMSI to a phone number is done on the cellular provider's side (carrier/operator network), and hence you might see the phonenumber as a header in HTTP requests if the traffic goes through operator's proxy.

Some operators store the phone number on the SIM card (do not know how to get that information in general) but this not widely used practice.

For more information you could search for MSISDN comments by petrib on these boards :-)

Hi, hartti

Thanks for completing it with some theory

Good to have such a technical explanation!
