This API is suitable for general apps that needs to know the phone number. For specific apps that needs to know the phone number provided by a specific source, #getPhoneNumber(int, int) may be suitable.

This API is built up on #getPhoneNumber(int, int), but picks from available sources in the following order: #PHONE_NUMBER_SOURCE_CARRIER > #PHONE_NUMBER_SOURCE_UICC > #PHONE_NUMBER_SOURCE_IMS.

The API provides no guarantees of what format the number is in: the format can vary depending on the underlying source and the network etc. Programmatic parsing should be done cautiously, for example, after formatting the number to a consistent format with android.telephony.PhoneNumberUtils#formatNumberToE164(String, String).

The availability and correctness of the phone number depends on the underlying source and the network etc. Additional verification is needed to use this number for security-related or other sensitive scenarios.

General apps that need to know the phone number should use #getPhoneNumber(int) instead. This API may be suitable specific apps that needs to know the phone number from a specific source. For example, a carrier app needs to know exactly what's on #PHONE_NUMBER_SOURCE_UICC UICC and decide if the previously set phone number of source #PHONE_NUMBER_SOURCE_CARRIER carrier should be updated.

The API provides no guarantees of what format the number is in: the format can vary depending on the source and the network etc. Programmatic parsing should be done cautiously, for example, after formatting the number to a consistent format with android.telephony.PhoneNumberUtils#formatNumberToE164(String, String).

Note the assumption is that one subscription (which usually means one SIM) has only one phone number. The multiple sources backup each other so hopefully at least one is availavle. For example, for a carrier that doesn't typically set phone numbers on #PHONE_NUMBER_SOURCE_UICC UICC, the source #PHONE_NUMBER_SOURCE_IMS IMS may provide one. Or, a carrier may decide to provide the phone number via source #PHONE_NUMBER_SOURCE_CARRIER carrier if neither source UICC nor IMS is available.

The availability and correctness of the phone number depends on the underlying source and the network etc. Additional verification is needed to use this number for security-related or other sensitive scenarios.
