I need to develop an application to make calls using a mobile chip, but for this, I have to know the carrier of the target number.

You can discover the destination operator, programmatically, on android?

    Dude, when you ask a question put the language you want to do it.

  • TAG = Android is a Google Operating System for mobile devices. Use this tag to reference questions related to programming for Android and be relevant only to this operating system. Use the [android-subject] tag instead of [subject] alone.

    I understand face but Android is an S.O, The ideal is to use the Android Tag along with the language you want, because I could post a code of numerous languages and not be the one you want.

  • here is a website showing how the numbers are distributed https://www.teleco.com.br/num_cel.asp

Following the documentation:

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

The operator of the target number via android api is impossible, there is no way the Operating System know the operator based only on the number, mainly with portability. What I would recommend would be to pay some company that owns this Web Service and make a request in your app. Doing a quick search I found this website

  • But this does not return me to the target operator, but rather the operator of the chip that is in the cell phone, or I’m wrong?
