How to get the name of the operator of the incoming number in android ..?

Question

I can get the name of the carrier using the following snippet:

TelephonyManager telephonyManager = ((TelephonyManager) mContext.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE)); String operatorName = telephonyManager.getNetworkOperatorName(); 

This works great.

I can also get the incoming call number using the following snippet:

 private final PhoneStateListener phoneStateListener = new PhoneStateListener() { @Override public void onCallStateChanged(int state, String incomingNumber) { String callState = "UNKNOWN"; switch (state) { case TelephonyManager.CALL_STATE_RINGING: } } } 

I want to know the name of the provider / name of the service provider of the incoming number. How can i achieve this?
Is it possible to get an input number, for example, a country?

Answer 1

It is not possible to get the carrier name of any mobile number using the Android API. At least it's not that simple (and you might get into a privacy issue, I think).

Of course, you can try to find the original carrier (using the prefix), but this may differ from the actual one ...

Answer 2

Unable to retrieve caller carrier details. In addition, due to number portability, it is not possible to obtain the operator’s name from the caller’s phone number. However, you can get country information from the first few digits of the number. For more information, see List of Country Codes .

Answer 3

from API level 22 (Andrid 5.1). These APIs are available.

 SubscriptionManager subscriptionManager = (SubscriptionManager)getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SUBSCRIPTION_SERVICE); List<SubscriptionInfo> subscriptionInfoList = subscriptionManager.getActiveSubscriptionInfoList(); if (subscriptionInfoList != null && subscriptionInfoList.size() > 0) { for (SubscriptionInfo info : subscriptionInfoList) { String carrierName = info.getCarrierName().toString(); String mobileNo = info.getNumber(); String countyIso = info.getCountryIso(); int dataRoaming = info.getDataRoaming(); } }
