How to find SIM card phone number?

Hi,

how do I find out the phone number associated to the MicroSIM card in my iPad 3G+WiFi? I suppose I could put the SIM card into a mobile and call someone... but there must be some way to display my number on iPad?

I'm aware that the iPad does not allow for calls or SMS, I just need the number to register for the online billing (Vodafone Germany).

iMac 27"; MacBook Pro 17" Core i7; iPhone 3GS; iPod nano 5G, Mac OS X (10.6.3)

Go to Settings, Cellular data, View account (making sure cellular data is "ON"), Account info will open, forcing login. The number will be displayed in the pop-up window after you log into the account.

This seems to work only with some carriers such as AT&T in the US. Vodafone Germany does not support this, so there is no "View account" option.

Thank you, that was it.

For some reason I cannot register on the Vodafone website with that number. Probably because the iPad cannot receive SMS... oh well.
