I have a website and want to be abe to allow access to mobile phones.
Can a web site detect a mobile phone number to use as single sign on ?
Like a website can detect your ip address and validate it against a database ......can it be done with a mobile phone number.....or do mobile phones have another such unique identifier
When a mobile phone browses an ASP.NET site, the server receives a HTTP request. There is no standard on HTTP itself to force the specification of a user phone number. My understanding is that it is up to the wireless carrier to include phone# as part
of the HTTP header when the request is going through its gateway. So there is no guaranteed way if a mobile phone number is included.
For a typical login scenario, a site should create a mobile page to allow a user to sign in. That can be an alternative as identifying a phone number.
