Phone code to find SIM Number

Question

Is there a code that can retrieve the sim number ? I mean not IMEI but the my own phone number i call from.

Like for IMEI there is *#06# , is there one for finding the sim number?

Thanks

Ah... I re-read your original post, I mis-understood your question.

I don't think its possible.

I can go into my phone menu and look at my 'phone number' but i've changed the sim since and it now has a different number but the phone still shows the old number.. i think the original operator coded it in there. (smartphone)

SMS message / voice call to somewhere is the only way I know of doing.. I SMS my personal phone from my work phone when I needed to do this.

This is not possible in general. Your SIM has an IMSI, but only the operator does map that to an actual phone number.

A feasible route is this: You send an SMS or place a call to a defined endpoint. This enpoint sees your number, and then notifies you back with your number.

We have done this at a previous employer - we did not find another way.
