About MIDP1.0 and phone numbers

About MIDP1.0 and phone numbers
Thu, 5 Jan 2006 23:30:07 +0100
Hello,
I have some questions, as follows:

1) How can I get programatically the phone number of mobile phone? I don't
mean IMEI or IMSI, but the phone number of the subscriber?
2) Can I use MIDP 1.0 togheter with WMA, if yes - which version of WMA and
which version of WTK?
I get some information that WTK 2.2 supports MIDP 2.0 and WMA 2.0, but I
need to use messaging functionality with MIDP 1.0 ?

Thanks in advance!

Jivche

As far as I know you can't get the phone number of the phone under MIDP 1.0
or indeed MIDP 2.0. This may sound bizarre, but I think the phone number was
regarded as 'personal information' from a security perspective and so was
deemed to be outside of the sandbox when the MIDP specification was created.

I don't think WMA helps much either (by the way WMA is not part of MIDP, its
an optional API), except that you can send an SMS to a 3rd party, which can
then read your phone number from the SMS message header using getAddress(),
and send another SMS message back to you with your phone number in the
message.

Regards
Martin
