Is it possible to read the iPhone phone number out of the settings?

Question

I would like to pre-populate a UITextfield with the phone number of the current iPhone device. Can that be done?

Answer 1

I doubt it and I certainly hope not. Imagine that I download an app and it automatically transmits my phone number to a remote server.

Actually it looks like it might be/have been possible: http://www.alexcurylo.com/blog/2008/11/15/snippet-phone-number/

Answer 2

It's possible but it's not going to be approved for App Store if you do it.

Answer 3

hmm just found this post. The answer is that it can be done but we are not supposed to do it...
