Programmatically get own Phone Number in iPhone OS 4.0

Question

I am developing an iPhone application for jail broken phones and in this application I would like to fetch user\'s phone number.

I have gone through the entire stack

Answer 1

Officially, it's not supported, nor is it recommended to get the user's personal information programmatically.

Also, the SDK does not yet provide any mechanism to work with information in the SIM.

Answer 2

If you're targeting jailbroken phones, you might take a look at the CoreTelephony framework. I don't often work with private APIs, so no guarantees this particular framework makes the phone number available to you, but you might get lucky.
