1st Import #import <CoreTelephony/CTTelephonyNetworkInfo.h> as well as #import <CoreTelephony/CTCarrier.h> (make sure you have the CoreTelephone.framework installed too).

CTTelephonyNetworkInfo *phoneInfo = [[CTTelephonyNetworkInfo alloc] init];
CTCarrier *phoneCarrier = [phoneInfo subscriberCellularProvider];
NSLog(@"Carrier = %@", [phoneCarrier carrierName]);
[phoneInfo release];

Notice that this tells you only the original SIM carrier, not current one in case of roaming. – JOM Jan 06 '12 at 13:55
this is not working anymore, just returning "Carrier" for me. – Jafar Khoshtabiat Oct 17 '19 at 07:09

Heres the Swift version:

import CoreTelephony

let phoneInfo = CTTelephonyNetworkInfo()
let phoneCarrier = phoneInfo.subscriberCellularProvider
print(phoneCarrier?.carrierName)

While developing in Swift 3.0, You just need to import CoreTelephony in you link binary with libraries in Build phases.

// Setup the Network Info and create a CTCarrier object

 let networkInfo = CTTelephonyNetworkInfo()
 let carrier = networkInfo.subscriberCellularProvider

// Get carrier name

 print(carrier?.carrierName)

That's it.
