Is it possible to get own phone number?

A search suggests that, subject to SIM security, this is possible in Java via:

B4X:
TelephonyManager tMgr =(TelephonyManager)mAppContext.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
  mPhoneNumber = tMgr.getLine1Number();

But is this possible in B4A?

It doesn't matter if it is unreliable, it would just be a "default" to avoid some app users having to type their own number into an app set-up screen.

(Obligatory, sorry 1st post apology goes here :) Got the trial last night and bought today so still learning.)

i check Phone.GetLine1Number but i catch a error and app stoped after that.
i am using a really simple code:

Sub Process_Globals
Dim ph1 As Phone​
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
ToastMessageShow("Sim: " & ph1.GetSimSerialNumber , True)​
End Sub

In Emulator it run perfect, but in my cellphone only show me an error.
Thanks

hi kickaha, i try with both (GetLine1Number and GetSimSerialNumber), the error is the same.
Only say: !We sorry!, The application test (process number.test) is stoped. Try again.
Have any way to see the real error in some log in the phone?
I have phone lib updated.
Thanks!

Hi Erel, i check the unfiltered logs, but i cant find the problem.
The program run perfect in emulator, but in real device get the error.
And i cant use my cellphone with usb driver, so i need copy the .apk to the real device, install it and run from cellphone.
Do you have anyway to find the error?
Thanks for all

Thanks Tremara1 for your "small" offering.

I think I'll need this to use on my app one day, but first I have to
solve my imageview problem.

Maybe it's useful to others by putting the zip in the tutorial/example section?

grtz.

I did it with reflection lib:

Dim Obj1 As Reflector
Dim LineNumber As String
Obj1.Target = Obj1.GetContext
Obj1.Target = Obj1.RunMethod2("getSystemService", "phone", "java.lang.String")
LineNumber = Obj1.RunMethod ("getLine1Number")

In my case, android 1.5 doesn't support Phone lib, so with reflector lib we can use it.

Hi

I am trying to get phone it own number in order to create some activation licensing, I am using these
ToastMessageShow(pi.GetSimSerialNumber,True)
ToastMessageShow(pi.GetDeviceId,True)
ToastMessageShow(pi.GetSubscriberId,True)
ToastMessageShow(pi.GetLine1Number,True)

only lines 1-3 are ok, the line that I need is giving blank result
I need full prove solution to get phone number (since I will base my entire licensing on it)
