how do you get the phone's MCC and MNC in Android?

Question

The only way I\'ve found of retrieving MCC and MNC is by overriding an activity\'s onConfigurationChanged method, as such:

public void onConfigurationChanged         


        

Answer 1

getResources().getConfiguration().mcc is a bad choice because it returns an integer, hence compromising valid values such as 01, or 044. Clearly integer is not a good option for this.

See details in Mobile_Network_Code

Update: in Australia, we verified a wrong case here. The getNetworkOperator returns different value from getSimOperator, where the latter is correct.

See details in Android doc: TelephonyManager
