Is it possible to get the phone number as a variable?

[kirsc...@gmail.com]

I use Tasker on many phones with many SIM-cards (all of them are Dual-SIM by the way). For the sake of consistency I use the same identical Tasker-configurations for all the phones...

Depending on which SIM-card(s) is in the phone I want to set conditions to determine whether a specific phone with as specific SIM-card is allowed to do something (activate mobile data, activate tethering, etc.).

So, is there a way to identify which SIM-card / telephone number is currently in the phone? If yes, what about DUAL-SIM phones?

The Phone Number should be in %PNUM and the SIM Serial Number should be in %SIMNUM.

Many thanks, Robert Ryan... I will test it... I am wondering how/whether DUAL-SIM is handled resp. ignored... This was what I was looking for... and in fact... I am an idiot... it's mentioned in the documentation... :-)

I just tested it:

%SIMNUM is reliable... so you can do e.g. an if-condition like: if  %SIMNUM matches *12345
%PNUM seems to be dependent on the SIM-card... on some SIM-Cards the value is empty... but %SIMNUM is sufficient to identify the SIM-card...

In the %PNUM description:

>On some phones it doesn't work (Android limitation), seems related to the type of SIM.

Yes, Pent, I've read this... my specific phone number does not even show up in the phone settings within Android...  so no problem with that... Tasker could do what I wanted: to uniquely identify my phone-SIM via %SIMNUM... that did the job for me...
