How can I get details about the device data provider (like Verizon/AT&T) of an iphone programmatically?

Question

I am trying to create an ios application and I want to segment the users based on the data providers they are using, such as Verizon and AT&T. Is it possible to get this information programmatically from the ios application.

Answer 1

You should check the CTCarrier.

Just import CoreTelephony into your Swift file.

Then you can use the carrierName property to get the name of your carrier.

// Setup the Network Info and create a CTCarrier object
let networkInfo = CTTelephonyNetworkInfo()
let carrier = networkInfo.subscriberCellularProvider

// Get carrier name
let carrierName = carrier.carrierName

Answer 2

You will want to use the CTCarrier carrierName in the CoreTelephony framework: https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/ios/documentation/NetworkingInternet/Reference/CTCarrier/index.html#//apple_ref/occ/instp/CTCarrier/carrierName
