This is a cordova plugin to get data from the SIM card like the carrier name, mcc, mnc and country code and other system dependent additional info.

Installation

cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-sim2

Supported Platforms

• Android
• iOS
• Windows Phone 7 and 8

Usage

document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);

  window.plugins.sim.getSimInfo(successCallback, errorCallback);
}

The plugin returns a JSON object. Return values:

• carrierName: String - the Service Provider Name (SPN)
• countryCode: String - the ISO country code equivalent for the SIM provider's country code
• mcc: String - the MCC (mobile country code) of the provider of the SIM

Field carrierName may remain empty, dependent on the mobile provider.

On Windows Phone access to countryCode, MCC and MNC is not made provided (returns empty string).

You can extract country and carrier data from MCC and MNC codes, read further on Wikipedia and ITU-T.

List of Call State Codes and Meanings

| Code | Constant | Meaning |-----:|:------------------------------|-------- | 0 | CALL_STATE_IDLE | No activity | 1 | CALL_STATE_RINGING | Ringing. A new call arrived and is ringing or waiting. In the latter case, another call is already active. | 2 | CALL_STATE_OFFHOOK | Off-hook. At least one call exists that is dialing, active, or on hold, and no calls are ringing or waiting.

List of Data Activity Codes and Meanings

| Code | Constant | Meaning |-----:|:------------------------------|-------- | 0 | DATA_ACTIVITY_NONE | No traffic. | 1 | DATA_ACTIVITY_IN | Currently receiving IP PPP traffic. | 2 | DATA_ACTIVITY_OUT | Currently sending IP PPP traffic. | 3 | DATA_ACTIVITY_INOUT | Currently both sending and receiving IP PPP traffic. | 4 | DATA_ACTIVITY_DORMANT | Data connection is active, but physical link is down

List of Network Type Codes and Meanings

| Code | Constant | Meaning |-----:|:------------------------------|-------- | 0 | NETWORK_TYPE_UNKNOWN | unknown | 1 | NETWORK_TYPE_GPRS | GPRS | 2 | NETWORK_TYPE_EDGE | EDGE | 3 | NETWORK_TYPE_UMTS | UMTS | 4 | NETWORK_TYPE_CDMA | CDMA: Either IS95A or IS95B | 5 | NETWORK_TYPE_EVDO_0 | EVDO revision 0 | 6 | NETWORK_TYPE_EVDO_A | EVDO revision A | 7 | NETWORK_TYPE_1xRTT | 1xRTT | 8 | NETWORK_TYPE_HSDPA | HSDPA | 9 | NETWORK_TYPE_HSUPA | HSUPA | 10 | NETWORK_TYPE_HSPA | HSPA | 11 | NETWORK_TYPE_IDEN | iDen | 12 | NETWORK_TYPE_EVDO_B | EVDO revision B | 13 | NETWORK_TYPE_LTE | LTE | 14 | NETWORK_TYPE_EHRPD | eHRPD | 15 | NETWORK_TYPE_HSPAP | HSPA+

List of Phone Type Codes and Meanings

| Code | Constant | Meaning |-----:|:------------------------------|-------- | 0 | PHONE_TYPE_NONE | none | 1 | PHONE_TYPE_GSM | GSM | 2 | PHONE_TYPE_CDMA | CDMA | 3 | PHONE_TYPE_SIP | SIP

List of SIM State Codes and Meanings

| Code | Constant | Meaning |-----:|:------------------------------|-------- | 0 | SIM_STATE_UNKNOWN | Unknown. Signifies that the SIM is in transition between states. For example, when the user inputs the SIM pin under PIN_REQUIRED state, a query for sim status returns this state before turning to SIM_STATE_READY. | 1 | SIM_STATE_ABSENT | No SIM card is available in the device | 2 | SIM_STATE_PIN_REQUIRED | Locked: requires the user's SIM PIN to unlock | 3 | SIM_STATE_PUK_REQUIRED | Locked: requires the user's SIM PUK to unlock | 4 | SIM_STATE_NETWORK_LOCKED | Locked: requires a network PIN to unlock | 5 | SIM_STATE_READY | Ready
