In short, you may not get your own Phone number using any Public API(nor with the priate APIs) as the most of the network operators do not have any mapping of phone number with the SIM card and the phone number is not written any where on your device which you can retrieve.

Of course, you can get IMEI of your device easily. Check this: Reading IMEI in 3rd Edition

And also you can identify the SIM card with IMSI: http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.ph...in_3rd_Edition

You can't find own phone number by any API or any language. In general, the SIM card doesn't not know its own number, nor use it for anything. Only the network (operator's servers) needs to know it.

Operators could put the phone number the SIM card is associated with on the SIM, but generally they don't (it serves no purpose for making or receiving calls or messages there).
