Re: [android-developers] Re: How to fetch phone's phone number or unique ID

Exactly, I want an unique ID to it.

How can I call it? Do I have to instantiate something?

Thanks,

First of all, you should keep in mind that in the GSM world, the phone
number identifies the SIM, the user's account; it does not identify
the phone.

There is, however, in the android.telephony package, an method of the
TelephonyManager class called getDeviceId() that returns a unique ID
for the phone: IMEI for a GSM phone and MEID for CDMA.

There is also a getLine1Number() that returns the phone number, which
is probably not what you really want on a GSM phone. It might not even
be what you want on a CDMA phone, since there are obsure models with
two lines, and even more obscure models that take a SIM even on CDMA.
