I think Sim serial Number is unique. You can try this.

TelephonyManager telemamanger = (TelephonyManager) getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
String getSimSerialNumber = telemamanger.getSimSerialNumber();

Let me know if there is any issue.

With API Level greater than or equal to 22 : You can access all the SIM details using SubscritionManager. Use following command to list all Sim numbers(Works well for Dual Sim also):

List<SubscriptionInfo> list = SubscriptionManager.from(getApplicationContext()).getActiveSubscriptionInfoList();
for(SubscriptionInfo s : list){
   Log.d("SIMMANAGER",s.getNumber());
}

Note : This only works well when the operator stored their mobile number in sim card. Else, this method returns null.

This is a known issue. Many SIM across the globe would return null. You should rather use IMEI number however even that can return null.

TelephonyManager.getDeviceId()

Look for TelephonyManager.getSubscriberId(), this will give the unique id for each SIM.

Hey, TelephonyManager.getSubscriberId() gives same id for two different sims of same network. I am using serial number of sim to uniquely identify sim – Prabhu M May 10 '11 at 11:26
No, getSubscriberId return you unique IMSI value for GSM phone, even if you have two different sims of same network. Check this http://developer.android.com/reference/android/telephony/TelephonyManager.html#getSubscriberId%28%29 – Sukumar May 10 '11 at 12:18

On some phones or networks only the first 6 digits of the 15-digit subscriber id is returned. – Ralf Oct 25 '11 at 11:59
