Is there any way to get own phone number with Contacts Framework?

Question

I use Contacts Framework (introduced in iOS 9) to fetch some phone numbers from the address book.

I need to get my own phone number but I can't find any documentation on this question. Should I use Contacts Framework? Is this even possible? If it is not – how apps like snapchat do this?

You cannot do this as it violates user privacy and since 2009 Apple has not allowed for apps to get your phone number straight from your phone without permission.

But then, the question remains – "how apps like snapchat do this?" – Eduard Nov 16 '16 at 07:09
When you do 2 step verification it gets you phone number – RyanM Nov 16 '16 at 07:48
