Question

I am using Moto e for getting my sim number by telephoney methode telephonyManager.getLine1Number() . but it retrieves blank .

can anybody have any idea about other ways to find sim number/numbers?

Is it a dual sim phone? If yes, does it have a simcard in both slots? — Akhil Cherian Verghese, Apr 28 '15 at 11:34

the getLine1Number() return phone number if we have number listed in About Phone section in Settings. Otherwise we can't and I also didn't find any other options till now .

I believe the Moto E is a dual sim phone. Android didn't support that before 5.1 I believe, so that call won't work (even if you have simcards in both slots).

To get the number of a dual sim phone, please follow this method:
