IMSI on the Windows Phone 7 platform? - windows-phone-7

Is there a way to retrieve IMSI on the Windows Phone 7 platform?

It is possible, but it requires you to use native access, which is not officially supported and will not get your app approved in the Marketplace. I know that with the Dell Venue Pro I managed to access that data through AT commands.
As long as you can get the phone in Modem mode, you can run AT+CIMI to get the IMSI value.

In short, No. There is no way to get any information on SIM card or phone itself except Mobile operator name

Under 'settings - about' I find SIM-ID number, is this information available via a 'standard' API like Mobile Operator name?
If available, as a work-around for WP7 maybe link SIM-ID to IMSI on the 'back-end'.
What about Windows Phone 8 and 'secure NFC' - standard APIs to retrieve IMSI should be available then?

which windows devices support beacon (Ranging and monitoring)?

I am creating a mobile application that can detect iBeacons and I am confused which windows devices support that. I already checked that it's possible in Windows 10 but somewhere I read that it's also possible for Windows 8.1.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to detect beacons with Windows Phone 8.x because the OS has no built-in beacon support and does not allow apps to access raw Bluetooth LE scan results.

Windows Phone and Bluetooth LE

I want to know if it is possible to list Bluetooth LE devices in Windows Phone 8? The documentation comes up with a note that says that only paired devices could be listed.
Offtopic
Windows Phone really starts to freakin' me out. Every thing is hidden from the developer, like RFID, available WLAN's and so on. Sry but this had to be.
Bluetooth LE support just came to some Lumia devices recently, so there are no public APIs available yet. See here for some details.

Windows Phone 7 sniffer

Does any know some good http (at least) sniffer which works under Windows Phone 7 OS?
Currently I use wireshark/fiddler + windows phone 7 emulator for testing, but anyway I want to test my app using real phone + some win 7 phone sniffer too.
I'll appreciate any help.
You can use Fiddler with your device also.
Mike Ormond demonstrates here.

The current Windows Phone platform SDK does not expose access to the network stack or the radio interface at all, so in the current incarnation there is no way to create a sniffer for the platform.

Try to query your mobile device via AT commands using the usually installed serial interface (emulator). If supported, AT+CIM should give you the SIM IMSI.

Emulator vs Device

Using C# how do I know if I am running on a device or emulator?
I use the devicename to retrieve data, there will be no data for an emulator;
so i will manipulate the emulator name to retrieve data.
Since you mentioned the words C# and device in your question I'm assuming you mean a Windows CE or Windows Mobile device. If that is the case the following link will help. It details how to PInvoke the SystemParametersInfo function to determine the OEM name for the device.

I would think that if it were a REALLY good emulator, your program would never know the difference. ;)
