To get the phone number from the device , first you have to set your own phone number on the device, just through :

Settings -> About Phone -> Status -> My phone Number

Phone numbers are not available on SIM for each operators, like in india Sim dont have phone numbers in any memory, So WE cant get phone number from these connection. However, some countries, and operators have stored phone numbers on SIM, and we can get those.

Yes. This is because not all operators support retrieving phone number from the SIM card. There is no fail-safe way to always retrieve the phone number through your app. Your best bet is to ask the user to enter their phone number into the app and then save it to shared preferences or something.
