Answer 1

EDIT: With Xcode 6, simply add this line, even linking the framework to the project is done automatically:

@import CoreTelephony;

original: Add CoreTelephony.framework to your project. inside your class add this two lines:

#import <CoreTelephony/CTCarrier.h>
#import <CoreTelephony/CTTelephonyNetworkInfo.h>

this is the code:

CTTelephonyNetworkInfo *networkInfo = [[CTTelephonyNetworkInfo alloc] init];
CTCarrier *carrier = [networkInfo subscriberCellularProvider];


// Get carrier name
NSString *carrierName = [carrier carrierName];
if (carrierName != nil)
    NSLog(@"Carrier: %@", carrierName);

// Get mobile country code
NSString *mcc = [carrier mobileCountryCode];
if (mcc != nil)
    NSLog(@"Mobile Country Code (MCC): %@", mcc);

// Get mobile network code
NSString *mnc = [carrier mobileNetworkCode];

if (mnc != nil)
    NSLog(@"Mobile Network Code (MNC): %@", mnc);

Note that country code is in numeric code you can find the list here

Answer 2

It is inside CoreTelephony

CTTelephonyNetworkInfo *networkInfo = [[CTTelephonyNetworkInfo alloc] init];
CTCarrier *carrier = [networkInfo subscriberCellularProvider];
