Mobile Operator Info

A Flutter plugin to fetch mobile operator information, such as the operator name, mobile country code (MCC), and mobile network code (MNC).

Features

  • Android: Full functionality. No special permissions are required.
  • iOS: Not supported — getMobileOperatorInfo() returns empty data. Apple deprecated the relevant CoreTelephony APIs with no replacement.

Requirements

  • Flutter: 3.44.0 or later.

Platform Support

iOS

Since version 3.0.0 this plugin has no native iOS implementation. Apple deprecated the carrier-identity APIs of the CoreTelephony framework (CTCarrier) in iOS 16.0, and since iOS 16.4 they return only static placeholder values (-- / 65535) with no replacement API. Because real operator information cannot be obtained on modern iOS, the plugin is a no-op there: getMobileOperatorInfo() completes successfully and returns a MobileOperatorInfoData with all fields set to null.

It is safe to call the plugin on iOS — no exception is thrown and no native code is involved.

For more details, see the Apple documentation: CoreTelephony - CTCarrier.

Android

On Android, the plugin fetches mobile operator information using platform APIs. No special permissions are required, as the plugin does not access sensitive user data.

Supported Data:

  • Operator name (networkOperatorName)
  • Mobile Country Code (mobileCountryCode)
  • Mobile Network Code (mobileNetworkCode)

Installation

To use this plugin, add mobile_operator_info as a dependency in your pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
  mobile_operator_info: ^3.0.0

Then run the following command to fetch the dependency:

flutter pub get

Usage

Here’s an example of how to use the plugin:

import 'package:mobile_operator_info/mobile_operator_info.dart';

void main() async {
  final operatorInfo = await MobileOperatorInfo().getMobileOperatorInfo();

  print('Operator Name: \${operatorInfo.networkOperatorName}');
  print('Mobile Country Code (MCC): \${operatorInfo.mobileCountryCode}');
  print('Mobile Network Code (MNC): \${operatorInfo.mobileNetworkCode}');
}

Example Output

iOS (No-op, Returns Empty Data)

Operator Name: null
Mobile Country Code (MCC): null
Mobile Network Code (MNC): null

Android (Returns Real Data)

Operator Name: MyOperator
Mobile Country Code (MCC): 310
Mobile Network Code (MNC): 260

Known Issues

  • On Android, the plugin works as expected, but edge cases for certain devices or configurations may arise.
