I retrieve the list of contact numbers from the phone using the following 
code:

Cursor c = 
getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI, 
null, null, null, null);
while(c.moveToNext()){
      Log.d(TAG,"NO.: "+ 
c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NORMALIZED_NUMBER)));}

In API 16 and above, this would work perfectly for me, as I want *ALL* the 
contacts formatted in the E 164 format, no matter how they are stored by 
the user.

   1. 
   
   However, for APIs below 16, the above code won't work and I am not able 
   to get the E 164 format for all contacts by using the following line:
   
   c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER));
   
   
The 'PhoneNumberUtils' class could not come to any use.

Also, I cannot use the libphonenumber<http://code.google.com/p/libphonenumber/> 
library 
to convert numbers to their E 164 format, as I don't know the ISO 3166-1 
two letter country-code of the contacts.

Is there any way in which I can obtain the ISO 3166-1 two letter 
country-code for each contact in Android, so that I can use the 
libphonenumber library ?

Or is there any other solution to achieve point 1. ?

The numbers retrieved from the phone can be of any format eg.

   - Local : 965XXXXXXX
   - National : 0965XXXXXXX
   - International : +91 96 5X XXXXXX
   - and other

whereas the E 164 is +91XXXXXXXXXX where 91 is the country code.

Any help would be much appreciated !
