It is very simple to get user phone number .

TelephonyManager tMgr =(TelephonyManager)getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
String mPhoneNumber = tMgr.getLine1Number();

Required

permission READ_PHONE_STATE in android manifest file.

TelephonyManager tMgr =(TelephonyManager)mAppContext.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);      

String mPhoneNumber = tMgr.getLine1Number();

Requires permission READ_PHONE_STATE.

Add below part in android manifest xml file.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />

Hi, unfortunality not all Carrier are saving the own phone number on the sim card. The carrier O2 e.g don`t do that. So i can`t get the own phone number with the TelephonyManager.getLine1Number() Value in any case ! Is there any other possibility to find out the own phone number in really any case ? I thought about an USSD command, e.g. *#62# to receive the answer from the carrier, but unfortunality Android dosn`t have an API for USSD So, it would be very nice if somebody give me a hint to solve this problem ! Thanx a lot and withe best regards – Ibrahem Al-betar Mar 14 '13 at 12:35
`Intent dial = new Intent(); dial.setAction("android.intent.action.DIAL"); dial.setData(Uri.parse("tel:"+dial_number)); startActivity(dial);` you can use this to execute USSD commands. in your case `dial_number` is ***#62#**. – Bishan Mar 14 '13 at 16:33

you can use TelePhonyManager.getLineNumber() as other suggested. But I should add one thing. That this is not gurranteed for every operator to get the telephone number by this method. because the phone number is not physically stored on all SIM-cards, or broadcasted from the network to the phone. So in some network it may not return the number. So to me the best solution is to ask user to enter telephone number if you want to make your application global.

Moreover it is a duplicate question. See here https://stackoverflow.com/a/6797278/931982.

nice ,, but سome users have the fear of put their numbers – Ibrahem Al-betar Mar 11 '13 at 09:32
yes I know that is a pain. But it is better than getting nothing. See in some cases there is a possibility of not getting the number. I think you can do one thing. first try to get the number then if not possible then prompt for input. – stinepike Mar 11 '13 at 09:34
Yes, I also thought of this idea, thank you very much – Ibrahem Al-betar Mar 11 '13 at 09:37
