It does seem to be possible on the N900: Code: dbus-send --system --type=method_call --print-reply --dest=com.nokia.phone.SSC /com/nokia/phone/SSC com.nokia.phone.SSC.get_iccid|awk -F "\"" '/g/ {print $2}' https://wiki.maemo.org/Phone_control#Get_ICCID Edit: Actually, after testing this on an N900 and an N9, the N9 returned the correct number.
dbus-send --system --type=method_call --print-reply --dest=com.nokia.phone.SSC /com/nokia/phone/SSC com.nokia.phone.SSC.get_iccid|awk -F "\"" '/g/ {print $2}'
