Retrieving Carrier Name from iPhone programmatically
carrier, core-telephony, ios, networking
Solution
In iOS 4, the CoreTelephony framework is useable, here's a snippet to get the carrier name:
CTTelephonyNetworkInfo *netinfo = [[CTTelephonyNetworkInfo alloc] init];
CTCarrier *carrier = [netinfo subscriberCellularProvider];
NSLog(@"Carrier Name: %@", [carrier carrierName]);
[netinfo release];
Link against CoreTelephony and include in your headers:
#import <CoreTelephony/CTTelephonyNetworkInfo.h>
#import <CoreTelephony/CTCarrier.h>
Problem
Is there a way to know the cell carrier on an iPhone programmatically? I am looking for the carrier name which the iPhone is connected to.
