You could use the SubscriberId / IMSI, but it cannot be detected with all SIM cards, depends on the SIM card. Or you can use the IMEI, the device id:
TelephonyManager mTelephonyMgr = (TelephonyManager) context.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE); String imei = mTelephonyMgr.getDeviceId(); But it's just a number, nothing really 'user friendly'.
