Android Question [SOLVED] Get Countrynumber from own number

AHilberink · Mar 17, 2021

Hi,

I am looking for a possibility to get the countrycode from the provider of the homeland.

Most threads I found where based on the current location. This is not what I need. I need the code of the provider of the number.

Example:
My number is locate in Netherlands (NL:031).
When I am in French, I still need to get the NL, not the (FR:033)

Can this be done? I don't know if getSimCountryIso() give the current location or the homeland code.
I tried also GetLine1Number, but this is without countrycode.

It would be nice to get +31 or 031 instead of NL, but I would be glad to get one of them.
A MCC code will also do, if this is not the current/active provider but the homeland provider.

Kind regards,
André

getSimCountryIso() returns the ISO-3166-1 alpha-2 country code.
Anyway you can use this code:

B4X:

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)

    Log(GetCountry)
    Log(loadprefix.Get($"${GetCountry.ToUpperCase}"$))
    
End Sub

Sub loadprefix As Map

Hi MarcoRome,

Thank you for this.

To be sure: getSimCountryIso() will give the Iso of the Sim provider, not the Iso of the country of the current location?

Kind regards, André

Look this

SimCard ( also Dual Sim )

This library reads the sim (both, also dual sim), example Serial Number SIM-1 and SIM-2, Number Phone SIM-1 and SIM-2, etc. SimCard Author: Devil-App Version: 2 SimCard Methods: GetDataActivity As String Returns a constant indicating the type of activity on a data connection (cellular)...

Yes, I see 9:it of Italy.

But still the same question: My simprovider is NL, I am on holiday in Italy. What will be the result of getSimCountryIos()? Will it be IT or will it be NL?

EDIT: After the tests carried out (see thread #7 ) this place on stackoverflow is incorrect ( or maybe in 2014 when it was written it was actually a bug )

I am creating an app that depending on which country your mobile network provider is from, displays a list of all alternative mobile network providers from that same country. To achieve this, I was

stackoverflow.com

MarcoRome · Mar 20, 2021

The documentation say : Returns the ISO-3166-1 alpha-2 country code equivalent for the SIM provider's country code

https://developer.android.com/reference/android/telephony/TelephonyManager#getSimCountryIso()

Anyway i did a test with a Russian sim card from Italy. Even if i am in Italy, the correct value is returned to me.

So the above code can be used (Post #2 )

Thank you MarcoRome very much. You also test it for me. Thanks a lot. Now I am sure I will get the SIM provider countrycode.
