None of this information is available via APIs in the iOS SDK.

If there are any partnership programs available for this …

I don’t know whether there is or isn’t such a programme. My focus, and the focus of DevForums in general, is the APIs in Apple’s various platform SDKs.

If you’re working on behalf of a carrier, I recommend that you escalate this via your carrier’s contact at Apple.

Share and Enjoy

Some of the information was previously available but then got stripped out a couple years back by new iOS versions.
