BTW, this is the permission that allows the reading of your number:
read phone state and identity
Allows the app to access the phone features of the device. An app with this permission can determine the phone number and serial number of this phone, whether a call is active, the number that call is connected to and the like.
Google play uses it as does several other apps like netflix, as do some browsers, skype, speedtest.nets app uses it ffs, along with titanium backup and Torque, as well as trackid, tvshowfavs and likely a ton more apps. Now, that's not to say they are actually reading your number, since the permission does several things but, either way why get paranoid?
I have had no spam calls from any android apps I have had but I have gotten more than I can count since changing my number.
