Displaying Owner Information of Sim card Android

Question

I am writing a Small Android Application, which displays all the details in the sim card. I found out how to display info like IMEI, Network Operator Name etc from this.

I just wanted to know whether it is possible to display the Sim Card Holder's Name in Android application? Is that information stored in the sim card?

If it is, which I doubt, then it is likely to be wrong since sim cards and phones get moved around between people and the telephone operator often doesn't get told.

But while buying it will be registered to a single person which will be stored in the sim card(?? not sure) Is it possible to fetch that information? – trueblue Aug 09 '13 at 05:39
Not necessarily true - it depends on the country - not every country insists that a person is registered as owning a sim card. – Sean Aug 09 '13 at 10:00
