Hi Vimal,
Hope you are fine.

This link is the solution of your problem

TelephonyManager mTelephonyMgr;  
mTelephonyMgr = (TelephonyManager)  getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);   
String lineNumber = mTelephonyMgr.getLine1Number();

Thanks & Regards

Not necessarily. That number can be the original phone number of the device, which becomes invalid if another (pre-existing) phone number gets ported to the phone - which is a common occurrence. I've also seen it reported as being "null" (which is OK according to the javadocs).

Ulf,

This is post condition, but something is there from which it can be accessed and achieved.

Returns the phone number string for line 1, for example, the MSISDN for a GSM phone. Return null if it is unavailable.

I don't understand what you're trying to say here, but the important point is: No value may be returned, and even if a value is returned, it may not be the correct one.

Thanks Pratik & Ulf for yours reply.

I am very much fine

as per my findings, both are right : if we have number listed in About Phone section of android then only we can get number other wise we get null.

The second thing i come across :- i checked one Android Mobile(@Pratik : its amitesh mobile) in that mobile owner changed its sim card but MSISDN number(mobile number) did not changed , it remain old sim card number. So in this scenario we can get mobile number of our own but old number.
