Hi there,

It isn't possible to retrieve this information using ASP.NET to protect your
privacy. If a webpage could capture your phone number, spammers could
compile and bombard you with phone calls.

If you are targeting PocketPC Phone edition or Smartphones for people you
know
(in your company, for example), it is possible to change the Windows CE
registry
on the device to pass custom parameters in the headers which can be captured
on
an ASP.NET website. Each device would have to be manually configured to make
this work.

The SIM ID/Phone Number is only accessible to the Phone's OS.

I hope this information is useful.

Thanks,
