Access user's phone number on iOS 7

I know that iOS 4 and 5 do not allow the access of a user's phone number since its outside the sandbox of an application (if it needs to be accepted by apple). I would like to know whether this has changed in iOS 7 - with permissions whether it can be accessed etc.

Thanks in advance.

"For security reasons, iPhone OS restricts an application (including its preferences and data) to a unique location in the file system. This restriction is part of the security feature known as the application's "sandbox." The sandbox is a set of fine-grained controls limiting an application's access to files, preferences, network resources, hardware, and so on."

The device's phone number is not available within your application's container.

No. Apple APIs do not provide access to this information. What's more, attempting to get this information without asking the user is generally considered a huge breach of privacy.
