Re: [android-developers] Re: Cannot get PhoneNumber on Real device but code works in Emulator

2011-11-09 Thread Mark Ellul 
As far as I have ascertained, this issue is not an Android issue, it has to 
do with the Sim and access to the Sim given to Android by the provider.

So basically, if you get a Null its because the phone doesn't know its own 
phone number, and you have to ask the user, or does some work around, like 
a lost call to a know number using an suffix to identify the phone/user.

[android-developers] Re: Cannot get PhoneNumber on Real device but code works in Emulator

2009-09-08 Thread Mark Ellul 

Hi Roman,

Thanks for your Response!

I am using a HTC Hero in Spain, using Yoigo Network.

I checked the settings and the Voice MSISDN Line1 number is indeed
unknown, so I guess thats why I am receiving a null value for the
phone number.

I will be testing with a US Sim (as soon as I received it) and will
add to this thread.

Regards

Mark

Your code looks fine to me.

Could you check whether this.telMgr.getLine1Number() returns null ?

Also verify the setting application (go to about phone -- status --
phone number). You should be able to see your phone number.

phone number from your SIM card or the SIM card is not available at
