Device Phone Number

Retrieves a phone number linked to the user's Google account on the device. On Android, this uses Google's Phone Number Hint, which shows a system prompt allowing the user to pick from phone numbers associated with their signed-in Google account(s).

You'll need to import the javascript file in your website before starting from this link.

Platform support: Android only.

Get Device Phone Number

Triggers the Google Phone Number Hint prompt on Android and returns the selected number through the callback.

Plain Javascript

window.WTN.getDevicePhoneNumber({
  callback: function (response) {
    console.log(response.phoneNumber);
  },
});

npm

Parameters:

Key	Type	Required	Description
callback	Function	No	Callback function invoked with the response.

Callback Response:

Key	Type	Description
type	String	Always "getDevicePhoneNumber".
success	Boolean	true if a phone number was selected and retrieved successfully, false otherwise.
phoneNumber	String or null	The phone number selected by the user from the Google account hint. null on failure.
error	String or null	null on success. Error message describing what went wrong (e.g., user dismissed the hint).
error_code	String or null	null on success. A short error code identifying the failure case.

Example:

window.WTN.getDevicePhoneNumber({
  callback: function (response) {
    if (response.success && response.phoneNumber) {
      console.log("Selected phone number:", response.phoneNumber);
    } else {
      console.error(
        "Failed to get phone number:",
        response.error_code,
        response.error
      );
    }
  },
});

Notes:

• Works on Android only. iOS will not invoke the callback.

• Phone numbers come from the user's Google account(s) signed in on the device, not from the SIM. If the user has no phone number linked to their Google account, the hint prompt may show no options.

• The user must explicitly tap a number in the Google hint sheet — if they dismiss the sheet, success will be false.

• Requires Google Play services on the device.
