I want to retrieve the own mobile number and the IMEI.

How do I get this information from the Android phone?

use 

TelephonyManager tm = (TelephonyManager) getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
// get IMEI
String imei = tm.getDeviceId();
String phone = tm.getLine1Number();

but its not always reliable on for example non phone device.

and you should also add this following permission to your AndroidManifest.xml file

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE"/>

    Not all devices detect the phone number, at least in my LG optimus black I have to put it in manually (and not a lot of users do this I guess). – Paulina D. Oct 25 '11 at 21:07

getLine1Number();

this method returns the phone number string for line 1,
i.e the MSISDN for a GSM phone. Return null if it is unavailable.

but what about CDMA phone?

Note : this method works only for few cell phone not for all devices
