[Q] Phone number and IMEI number for registration

[aioracle]

Hello All,

I am developing a simple window phone 8.1 application which need to go through registration process and for this registration process I want to use Phone number and IMEI number.
But recent document from Microsoft and Other knows sources have mentioned both Phone number and IMEI number API from Microsoft has been removed and we will not be able to get hold of these values due to security and privacy reasons.

I am using C#, Visual Studio 2013 Express edition for this application development.

Well, if this is the case what recommendation can you provide us for registration process which is simple and easy. Based on this registration processor the user will get notifications he/she has opted for. Hence we need the phone number which needs to be captured.

Also, everyone's question is how Viber, WhatsApp and other messaging application how are they doing it?

Kind regards,
Vasuki

User have to enter his phone number in WhatsApp. It's a legal way.
