To me this seems a little strange, so I wonder if it is usual behaviour?

I've got a t-mobile android phone.

If I go to http://whatsmyuseragent.com/ on my mobile phone, I can see all the information sent by the browser to websites, this includes my phone number!

Surely this can't be a good thing?

  • This evening, T-mobile have confirmed that they have fixed the problem.

    I still have no idea whether it's all android phones, it was happening on a G2, Milestone and Galaxy S for sure. But at least it's now fixed.
