How to Find Out Carrier's Name in Android

How to find out carrier's name in Android

Never used it myself, but take a look at TelephonyManager->getNetworkOperatorName().

You could try something as simple as this:

TelephonyManager manager = (TelephonyManager)context.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
String carrierName = manager.getNetworkOperatorName();

Android: how can you determine the actual mobile carrier name?

TelephonyManager.getSimOperator() will return MCC & MNC codes which should uniquely identify a carrier, you can easily find lists online that maps MCC+MNC to operators names.

How do i get the carrier name of an incoming number in android..?

It's not possible to get the carrier name of a whatever mobile number neither with the Android API. At least is not that easy (and you could fall into some privacy related issue i think).

Of course you can try to find the original carrier (using the prefix), but that could be different from the actual one...

How to find out carrier's name when using MVNO? (i want the one written in notification Bar)

I don't have a MVNO SIM card but the getSimOperatorName() method of the TelephonyManager might be the method you are looking for.

TelephonyManager manager = (TelephonyManager)context.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
String carrierName = manager.geSimOperatorName();

I have a MVNE SIM card in Germany and the method returns an empty String, but the getNetworkOperatorName() method returns the right Operator for my SIM card.
