Getting the number of the phone Xamarin.Android?

Question

I found out that this code shared by some users doesn't work in my project. Has anyone a better solution ?

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

I'm getting an error on the getLine1Number() and on the mAppContext

"mAppContext does not exist in the current context" and "TelephonyManager does not contain a defenition for GetLine1Number()" — Luis Violas, Mar 16 '16 at 11:04
@LuisViolas : Your code is in native Android (Java). You must use Xamarin.Android (C#). Try this : http://stackoverflow.com/a/36034077/3891036 — Yksh, Mar 16 '16 at 11:22

Did you add <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE"/> to manifest?

It's not really perfect, but the only way (at least to my knowledge). Broader discussion is here Programmatically obtain the phone number of the Android phone
