Android : Check whether the phone is dual SIM
There are several native solutions I've found while searching the way to check network operator.
For API >=17:
TelephonyManager manager = (TelephonyManager)context.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
// Get information about all radio modules on device board
// and check what you need by calling #getCellIdentity.
final List<CellInfo> allCellInfo = manager.getAllCellInfo();
for (CellInfo cellInfo : allCellInfo) {
if (cellInfo instanceof CellInfoGsm) {
CellIdentityGsm cellIdentity = ((CellInfoGsm) cellInfo).getCellIdentity();
//TODO Use cellIdentity to check MCC/MNC code, for instance.
} else if (cellInfo instanceof CellInfoWcdma) {
CellIdentityWcdma cellIdentity = ((CellInfoWcdma) cellInfo).getCellIdentity();
} else if (cellInfo instanceof CellInfoLte) {
CellIdentityLte cellIdentity = ((CellInfoLte) cellInfo).getCellIdentity();
} else if (cellInfo instanceof CellInfoCdma) {
CellIdentityCdma cellIdentity = ((CellInfoCdma) cellInfo).getCellIdentity();
}
}
In AndroidManifest add permission:
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
</manifest>
To get network operator you can check mcc and mnc codes:
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_country_code (general information).
- https://clients.txtnation.com/hc/en-us/articles/218719768-MCCMNC-mobile-country-code-and-mobile-network-code-list- (quite full and quite latest list of operators).
For API >=22:
final SubscriptionManager subscriptionManager = SubscriptionManager.from(context);
final List<SubscriptionInfo> activeSubscriptionInfoList = subscriptionManager.getActiveSubscriptionInfoList();
for (SubscriptionInfo subscriptionInfo : activeSubscriptionInfoList) {
final CharSequence carrierName = subscriptionInfo.getCarrierName();
final CharSequence displayName = subscriptionInfo.getDisplayName();
final int mcc = subscriptionInfo.getMcc();
final int mnc = subscriptionInfo.getMnc();
final String subscriptionInfoNumber = subscriptionInfo.getNumber();
}
For API >=23. To just check if phone is dual/triple/many sim:
TelephonyManager manager = (TelephonyManager)context.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
if (manager.getPhoneCount() == 2) {
// Dual sim
}
Update 23 March'15 :
Official multiple SIM API is available now from Android 5.1 onwards
Other possible option :
You can use Java reflection to get both IMEI numbers.
Using these IMEI numbers you can check whether the phone is a DUAL SIM or not.
Try following activity :
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
TelephonyInfo telephonyInfo = TelephonyInfo.getInstance(this);
String imeiSIM1 = telephonyInfo.getImsiSIM1();
String imeiSIM2 = telephonyInfo.getImsiSIM2();
boolean isSIM1Ready = telephonyInfo.isSIM1Ready();
boolean isSIM2Ready = telephonyInfo.isSIM2Ready();
boolean isDualSIM = telephonyInfo.isDualSIM();
TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tv);
tv.setText(" IME1 : " + imeiSIM1 + "\n" +
" IME2 : " + imeiSIM2 + "\n" +
" IS DUAL SIM : " + isDualSIM + "\n" +
" IS SIM1 READY : " + isSIM1Ready + "\n" +
" IS SIM2 READY : " + isSIM2Ready + "\n");
}
}
And here is TelephonyInfo.java :
import java.lang.reflect.Method;
import android.content.Context;
import android.telephony.TelephonyManager;
public final class TelephonyInfo {
private static TelephonyInfo telephonyInfo;
private String imeiSIM1;
private String imeiSIM2;
private boolean isSIM1Ready;
private boolean isSIM2Ready;
public String getImsiSIM1() {
return imeiSIM1;
}
/*public static void setImsiSIM1(String imeiSIM1) {
TelephonyInfo.imeiSIM1 = imeiSIM1;
}*/
public String getImsiSIM2() {
return imeiSIM2;
}
/*public static void setImsiSIM2(String imeiSIM2) {
TelephonyInfo.imeiSIM2 = imeiSIM2;
}*/
public boolean isSIM1Ready() {
return isSIM1Ready;
}
/*public static void setSIM1Ready(boolean isSIM1Ready) {
TelephonyInfo.isSIM1Ready = isSIM1Ready;
}*/
public boolean isSIM2Ready() {
return isSIM2Ready;
}
/*public static void setSIM2Ready(boolean isSIM2Ready) {
TelephonyInfo.isSIM2Ready = isSIM2Ready;
}*/
public boolean isDualSIM() {
return imeiSIM2 != null;
}
private TelephonyInfo() {
}
public static TelephonyInfo getInstance(Context context){
if(telephonyInfo == null) {
telephonyInfo = new TelephonyInfo();
TelephonyManager telephonyManager = ((TelephonyManager) context.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE));
telephonyInfo.imeiSIM1 = telephonyManager.getDeviceId();;
telephonyInfo.imeiSIM2 = null;
try {
telephonyInfo.imeiSIM1 = getDeviceIdBySlot(context, "getDeviceIdGemini", 0);
telephonyInfo.imeiSIM2 = getDeviceIdBySlot(context, "getDeviceIdGemini", 1);
} catch (GeminiMethodNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
try {
telephonyInfo.imeiSIM1 = getDeviceIdBySlot(context, "getDeviceId", 0);
telephonyInfo.imeiSIM2 = getDeviceIdBySlot(context, "getDeviceId", 1);
} catch (GeminiMethodNotFoundException e1) {
//Call here for next manufacturer's predicted method name if you wish
e1.printStackTrace();
}
}
telephonyInfo.isSIM1Ready = telephonyManager.getSimState() == TelephonyManager.SIM_STATE_READY;
telephonyInfo.isSIM2Ready = false;
try {
telephonyInfo.isSIM1Ready = getSIMStateBySlot(context, "getSimStateGemini", 0);
telephonyInfo.isSIM2Ready = getSIMStateBySlot(context, "getSimStateGemini", 1);

}
}
}
return telephonyInfo;
}
private static String getDeviceIdBySlot(Context context, String predictedMethodName, int slotID) throws GeminiMethodNotFoundException {
String imei = null;
TelephonyManager telephony = (TelephonyManager) context.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
try{

Class<?>[] parameter = new Class[1];

Object[] obParameter = new Object[1];
obParameter[0] = slotID;
Object ob_phone = getSimID.invoke(telephony, obParameter);
if(ob_phone != null){
imei = ob_phone.toString();
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
throw new GeminiMethodNotFoundException(predictedMethodName);
}
return imei;
}
private static boolean getSIMStateBySlot(Context context, String predictedMethodName, int slotID) throws GeminiMethodNotFoundException {
boolean isReady = false;
TelephonyManager telephony = (TelephonyManager) context.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);

if(simState == TelephonyManager.SIM_STATE_READY){

}
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
throw new GeminiMethodNotFoundException(predictedMethodName);
}
return isReady;
}
private static class GeminiMethodNotFoundException extends Exception {
private static final long serialVersionUID = -996812356902545308L;
public GeminiMethodNotFoundException(String info) {
super(info);
}
}
}
Edit :
Getting access of methods like "getDeviceIdGemini" for other SIM slot's detail has prediction that method exist.
If that method's name doesn't match with one given by device manufacturer than it will not work. You have to find corresponding method name for those devices.
Finding method names for other manufacturers can be done using Java reflection as follows :
public static void printTelephonyManagerMethodNamesForThisDevice(Context context) {
TelephonyManager telephony = (TelephonyManager) context.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
Class<?> telephonyClass;
try {
telephonyClass = Class.forName(telephony.getClass().getName());
Method[] methods = telephonyClass.getMethods();
for (int idx = 0; idx < methods.length; idx++) {
System.out.println("\n" + methods[idx] + " declared by " + methods[idx].getDeclaringClass());
}
} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
EDIT :
As Seetha pointed out in her comment :
telephonyInfo.imeiSIM1 = getDeviceIdBySlot(context, "getDeviceIdDs", 0);
telephonyInfo.imeiSIM2 = getDeviceIdBySlot(context, "getDeviceIdDs", 1);
It is working for her. She was successful in getting two IMEI numbers for both the SIM in Samsung Duos device.
Add <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />
EDIT 2 :
The method used for retrieving data is for Lenovo A319 and other phones by that manufacture (Credit Maher Abuthraa):
telephonyInfo.imeiSIM1 = getDeviceIdBySlot(context, "getSimSerialNumberGemini", 0);
telephonyInfo.imeiSIM2 = getDeviceIdBySlot(context, "getSimSerialNumberGemini", 1);
