Not possible with the current API.

I'm using SilverLight Application so we can get
DeviceNetworkInformation.CellularMobileOperator
if it returns empty string sim is not available else sim is available.

This would have to be built by you or from a 3rd party - there is nothing in the SDK that implements the behaviour you are after.

Windows Phone: Add custom Account

is it possible to create a custom account (similar to Microsoft Account,Facebook, Twitter, ...) in Windows Phone so that a user can setup an account of my Custom Type and then can sync data and so on.
It's something similar to using a SyncAdapter in Android.
can I achieve this in Windows Phone ? what are the APIs to use ?
Thanks
No, there is no way to setup your own account type.
But in Windows Phone 8 your application can add its own contacts to People hub. Here is basic samples:

There is no way to do this with Windows Phone 7.
If you must have this functionality then WP7 is not the right platform for you.

This isn't possible through the phone SDK at the moment.
What is exposed is being able to retrieve the email address or the phone number from a chooser. Details on that here for reference.
