Added in iOS4

CTTelephonyNetworkInfo *netInfo = [[CTTelephonyNetworkInfo alloc] init];
CTCarrier *carrier = [netInfo subscriberCellularProvider];
NSString *mcc = [carrier mobileCountryCode];
NSString *mnc = [carrier mobileNetworkCode];

Don't forget to #import and include the CoreTelephony Framework – BadPirate Dec 17 '11 at 00:29

No, mobile network information is not available through the API. If you're looking for a unique device ID, take a look at UIDevice's uniqueIdentifer method; if you're looking for the country the device is in, you need Location Services; if you want a good indication of the user's home region, take a look at NSLocale; for anything else, just ask the user.

Thanks for the response - sadly Location Services requires asking the user, in the sense that they get a popup asking if it's ok. – Airsource Ltd Mar 25 '09 at 16:17

I think you could just get the phone number of the iPhone and parse it out for the country code.

The phone number is not available programmatically – Purpletoucan Feb 11 '11 at 12:15
