It would be funny to see advertisers send targeted SMS ads using this. I bet that the advertisers of web sites that 
participate in iframe ads would also get this information, assuming the Phone would load up iframe ads. 

I think the provider should fix this, because if someone developed an exploit similar to the one that was able to 
compromise the iPhone a while back just by sending a maliciously formed SMS message, your phone could be compromised 
just by going to a website where this information is sent to the web server.

I know this is pretty obvious, just my 2 cents.

Hi,
Doing an assessment on mobile GWs I found that Orange Spain is adding
the user MSISDN in any HTTP request sent in it?s network. That means
that is really simple to get the user phone number from a Orange Spain
user. On one hand, I saw that Orange Spain uses the header
x-up-calling-line-id to add a user temporary ID that changes every 24h
but I also found that in any HTTP request they will add the user phone
number in the header X-Network-info. In particular the HTTP header
looks like as follow:

X-Network-info: CSD,34xxxxxxxxx,unsecured

where xxxxxxxxx is the user MSISDN
