Cant able to get phone number from iphone

Question

Currently I'm using the following code to get the local device phone number :

NSString *num = [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults]
                 stringForKey:@”SBFormattedPhoneNumber”];

NSLog(@”Phone Number: %@”, num);

but it can't able to get the number, it shows null. Can any one guide me how to solve this problem!!

Thanks in advance

Solution 1

There is no supported way to get the device's phone number. Any method (such as "SBFormattedPhoneNumber" mentioned in the other answers) that happens to work for now is liable to get your app rejected and is liable to stop working at any point without notice.

If you need the phone number, just ask the user to enter it.

Solution 2

Use below code

To Store a phone number string

[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setObject:@"1234567890")  
                                        forKey:@"SBFormattedPhoneNumber"];

To get the phone string back.

   NSString* num = [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] objectForKey:@"SBFormattedPhoneNumber"];
