Get MSISDN number through code

Question

Is there any way to get MSISDN(Mobile Subscriber Integrated Services Digital Network-Number) number through code.

I have navigated to other questions as well but none of them are answered.

Any help towards the path will really be appreciated.

Note: I require MSISDN number(number uniquely identifying a subscription in a GSM) and not iPhone's UDID. Purpose is to fetch the voicemails for that MSISDN

Additional Information : I just found out that MSISDN number is the combination of your country code and your Phone number.

MSISDN = CC + NPA + SN

CC - Country Code

NPA - Number Planning Area

SN - Phone Number

Not even settings shows that number, if you need a unique identifier, try not to use something so dangerous. — CodaFi, May 14 '12 at 12:33

Sorry, but you cannot retrieve the users MSISDN with public methods in the iOS SDK (I'm not sure about private methods). I'd be very surprised if Apple ever sanctioned this.

You used to be able to get the number with

[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] objectForKey:@"SBFormattedPhoneNumber"]

but I think that was removed in iOS 4.0.
