Programmatically get own phone number in iPhone OS

I am new in iPhone technology. I am currently building a dialler application in which requires the phone number of my iPhone form my SIM card.

Also, user758741, there's a good chance your dialer may be rejected from the app store. They rejected Google Voice, and I've heard rumors of other dialers being rejected. However, there is a Skype app, and they support voip-based apps. — Tyler, May 18 '11 at 08:17

The phone number is not accessable from any Apple public API which means you can't get it.

If you are implementing a dialer application I can't see what you would nee the own phone number for. It's not like you are going to call yourself?

You can get the users phone number from the NSUserDefault:

[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] objectForKey:@"SBFormattedPhoneNumber"]

But this will only work if the user has entered his phone number. There is no way in the official SDK to read anything from the SIM card.
