EVC Get SIM Phone number

Can anyone tell me the best way (with code example ideally!) to get the current phone number of the sim in the phone. I've tried SMSGetPhoneNumber but this doesn't work with some SIMs (namely an O2 UK sim).
I believe that SMSGetPhoneNumber lineGetAddressCaps should do it, right?
Many many thanks,
Vijay

Having problems myself
I thought so too,
but i've read alot about it, and not all sim cards contain the phonenumber.. One way you can see if you are storing your number, is to open the Start -> Programs -> Sim Manager... and choose Tools -> List own numbers...
if the idx there is empty .. i assume you cannot find you number.. only imei is stored on your phone... I might be mistaken .. but this is what i concluded..
I also tried the source code at : http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/archive/2004/11/28/271110.aspx
It didn't work for me, but you can try yourself

Hi sashje!
Thanks for your comments. We were both right!
I figured it out after looking on WIVIT's website, their lineswitcher, in their faq they give the same info you did.
Obviously SMSGetPhoneNumber can't get the phonenumber unless you've already stored one. I was surprised that not all SIMs have them stored, but you can enter your own with the sim manager, and then SMSGetPhoneNumber works perfectly. See examples of my plugin in the Magician > "See your today screen" thread!

Magician Disable Sim phone list access

Hi,
I've transferred all my contacts on my SIM into pOutlook contacts. The direct consequence of this is redundant entry when i use the smart dialing. To avoid this, i'm looking for a way to disable the SIM phone list access. Disable doesn't mean deleting all entry on my SIM because i switch my SIM regularly from one phone to another so i need to keep them on the SIM.
Anyone has got an idea ?
regards
Cedric

Use the search option in this forum or use SK tools. You can change this in the registry

Thanks For that I found the answer here

Why was the option under settings removed in WM5.
Reg change fixed it

Nothing to thank for. In fact most people are angry if they are told they should use the search function. Great u used it and found what you needed.
Have fun and enjoy!

I changed the ShowSIM (0), but when incoming call my phone show the contact from SIM.
By Phone:
NAME - two numbers (mobile and home)
BY SIM:
NAME1 - mobile
NAME2 - home
When incoming call my phone show NAME2.
WHY?

Hi,
That is correct. I used it on my Mega & now only phone contacts are visible.

Dang, yesterday i was playing with this. I copied my sim contacts to phone memory for the first time and it cant show only phone contacts, it shows all of them, strange.

Use a registery editor and go to following key : HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone\ShowSIM and modify it from 1 to 0

My Phone Number

Hello
strange one here, my phone number dose not appear at the top on sim manger, i really need it to. I used exchange 2010 and activesync, so i can send text message from outlook or owa. i can see a whole thread of texts between me and some one else, but it dose not display my name next to the message i sent, it dose if i sent it via outlook but not the phone. any way i need to know how to get sim manger to pick up my number or can i manually edit it, my exchange server cant pick my phone number up. so i look at sim manger and found that the issue is prob due to sim manger not displaying it. please can some one help
many thanks
Nick

Phone number is assigned from operator. Your sim contains only IMSI code and i'ts impossible retreive from phone.
You can set your phone number using sim manager:
go to sim manager menu->tools-> list your number (menu tools is not visible without gesture from down to up). In this option you can change number
