How can I get the ICCID number of the phone?

I looked in the TelephonyManager class, but didn’t found there a way to get the ICCID number, there is only a method which tells if the ICC card is present.

Solution

I believe getSimSerialNumber() will get iccid.

UPDATE for Android 5.1 (credit Erick M Sprengel)

“Multiple SIM Card Support” was added for Android 5.1 (API 22). Instead of using getSimSerialNumber, you can use SubscriptionManager.

SubscriptionManager sm  SubscriptionManager.from(mContext);

// it returns a list with a SubscriptionInfo instance for each simcard
// there is other methods to retrieve SubscriptionInfos (see [2])
List<SubscriptionInfo> sis  sm.getActiveSubscriptionInfoList();

// getting first SubscriptionInfo
SubscriptionInfo si  sis.get(0);

// getting iccId
String iccId  si.getIccId();

You will need the permission: (credit Damian)
