Get an iPad/iPhones unique information from your app?

Question

How do you get the unique identifying information from an iPhone/iPad within an app? For instance, I want my app to send support emails to my website for users who have problems and I need to uniquely identify the phone number/id of the device it is running on. Is this possible, forbidden?

The unique identifier for the particular iPhone you're running on:

NSString *uniqueIdentifier = [[UIDevice currentDevice] uniqueIdentifier];

There's some discussion about getting the user's phone number here:
