API Overview

`getSimCards`

Get information from the device’s SIM cards.

Retrieves details about all SIM cards installed in the device. On dual-SIM devices, returns information for both SIM cards. Requires READ_PHONE_STATE permission on Android.

import { Sim } from '@capgo/capacitor-sim';

const { simCards } = await SimPlugin.getSimCards();
simCards.forEach((sim, index) => {
  console.log(`SIM ${index + 1}:`);
  console.log(`  Carrier: ${sim.carrierName}`);
  console.log(`  Country: ${sim.isoCountryCode}`);
  console.log(`  MCC: ${sim.mobileCountryCode}`);
  console.log(`  MNC: ${sim.mobileNetworkCode}`);
});

`checkPermissions`

Check permission to access SIM card information.

Checks if the app has permission to read SIM card data. On Android, checks READ_PHONE_STATE permission. On iOS, the status is always granted. On Web, the status is always denied.

import { Sim } from '@capgo/capacitor-sim';

const status = await SimPlugin.checkPermissions();
if (status.readSimCard === 'granted') {
  console.log('Permission granted');
} else {
  console.log('Permission not granted');
}

`requestPermissions`

Request permission to access SIM card information.

Prompts the user to grant permission to read SIM card data. On Android, requests READ_PHONE_STATE permission. On iOS, the status is always granted without prompting. On Web, the status remains denied.

import { Sim } from '@capgo/capacitor-sim';

const status = await SimPlugin.requestPermissions();
if (status.readSimCard === 'granted') {
  // Now you can call getSimCards()
  const simCards = await SimPlugin.getSimCards();
}
