Communication with mobile phone's modem

Dear All,
I have a work in which i need to send and receive SMS from a desktop app. I have seen that smart phone has built-in GSM modem so i am thinking to utilize a mobile phone instead of purchasing standalone GSM modem.
I looked into google a lot and found few examples on the net especially on the codeproject.com where the authors shown how we can send SMS from a modem or mobile phone (for example: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/38705/Send-and-Read-SMS-through-a-GSM-Modem-using-AT-Com). I have downloaded and tried few of the programs but nothing worked. In all of the programs one thing is common that they are using Serial ports for communication while i am connecting my mobile to pc with a USB port. I am not sure is there any way i can do it in java or i can virtually convert my USB port to com port.
Any help and suggestions will be appreciated.
Many thanks
Umer

I have AT&T, and I know that they prohibit modem tethering (what you're referring to) with standard data plans. I have a $20/month unlimited data plan but if I use it tethered to my computer, they may cancel my service because I broke the contract. You can do it anyway, however, but in very small amounts. It is possible for them to track this, but if you only use it sparingly, then they either won't notice or won't care. Alternatively, you could buy the $60/month data tethering plan, which would function exactly the same, except it would be legal.
Most, if not all, wireless providers have the same policy. That's why they'll never help you with this.
If you want to do this anyway, I recommend a Sony Ericsson W600. I've been using this phone for a long time, and it's fantastic. It doesn't have 3G though. Google for "osx modem drivers" or something like that to find more info. All these drivers have been written by some nice hacker, and some work better than others, so if this is your only consideration in buying a new phone, try to find which drivers work best.

MS-6967 how to get it to work with mobile phone tools?

I've recently bought a MS-6967 after borrowing a TDK BT dongle from a mate and successfully used mobile phone tools to put MP3 tones into my Motorola V525 phone. So I gave my mate his TDK BT back and thought I'd start using my MS-6967 instead.
I can get it to connect phone to PC OK but not with mobile phone tools, every time I get to set up V525 in MPT and it seems to just about to stop and find my V525, then MPT program crashes. I'm using XP Pro SP1, MSI 1.4.3.4 drivers which just came out and version 2.21c MPT even updated to 2.21f and no difference. Its driving me mad, is it the MS-6967 or what?
Any help appreciated.

Hi again, thanks for the help.
Her phone seems to have a whole section specifically for connecting to Yahoo Mail, but unfortunately she doesn't have Yahoo Mail, she has a (name)@btinternet.com address (which was set up automatically when she got BT Broadband), which she normally accesses via Outlook.
I think she just has to set it up with her server settings, there is the setup to do this on the phone, but so far it's not working - I don't know whether this is because she hasn't remembered them all correctly (her PC is currently without a monitor so she couldn't check them), or whether it's because she needs to subscribe to some additional service? I thought that seemed unlikely, my friends all check their emails on their phones without any extra services - I'm afraid I've never had a phone sophisticated enough to do anything more than text on though so I don't know how it's done! Anyway thanks again for taking the time to advise, it's much appreciated!

On checking the iPhone the iPhone Number was not ticked and the whole option to change it was greyed out.
I removed the Apple ID and waited to see if th Number got ticked (Settings > Messages > Send and Receive).

I put the iPhone in Airplane Mode
After a few minutes I "restarted" the iPhone by turning off Airplane Mode
This time the Number was ticked.
I Added the Apple ID and then restarted Messages on the Mac.
I soon got the pop message about the iPhone using it's Number and the Apple ID and Accepted.

Tether MBP to Win Mobile Phone as Modem

Has anyone successfully tethered a Windows Mobile phone as a modem?

I do not have internet access setup on my phone. can
i still use the phone (via bluebooth) to dial my ISP?
for example...i would dial a number say 888.555.1212
with my user name and password configured in the
bluetooth setting?
Yes that is possible if your phone can act as a modem (non-GPRS) though note that your speed will be 9.6Kbps which is really sssslllllooowww.
Probably okay for plain text e-mail from my experience and just not viable for web browsing.
the link you gave me talks about GPRS for phone that
has internet access, but i do not have that.

Ipad 2 is associating with mobile phone # instead of it's own #

Hi I recently update to iOS 6.1 on my iPad and when it was all finished with the update i was distracted when it asked me about my phone # for facetime and messaging and i just hit ok then later I realized it pulled my mobile phone # into it instead of it's own number and I can't get it out of there. I restored it back to factory settings and a back up before I turned on my data plan and added it's own number and I still can't get rid of my mobile phone number or change it back to it's own data plan # HELP!

That doesn't solve the problem. I have all those defaults. But in Firefox, it won't let me select for "Portable Document Format" to "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)" which it used to let me and which is what the Mozilla Firefox help stuff says to do. I can select Adobe Reader but then it downloads it and opens it in a separate reader window rather than using the plugin. If I select to let Firefox "Preview in Firefox", then the Firefox built-in PDF reader will display it. I have added an add-on "pdfViewerSwitcher" which then lets me display in the Adobe Reader plug-in but only after first displaying it in the Firefox preview. So that verifies that the Adobe Reader plug-in works. But I can't set it to always use the Adobe Reader plug-in.
I have some reasons for wanting to use the Adobe Reader plug-in. I use Nuance Power PDF Pro for editing and doing other things with pdfs.
This all used to work and stopped working at some point in the last couple months. And if you search the web, you will find I am not the only one with this complaint.
I don't know whether it is Adobe's fault or Mozilla's fault but at least one of them is broken. And I think it is Firefox since it won't even let me select it but does let me select it for Adobe Forms.

Using HP ePrint with mobile phone internet connection

Hello, I have a peculiar problem.
I have an HP Officejet 4630 e-All-in-One series printer and I want to set up HP ePrint.
I have internet connection for my laptop computer, which is the computer I use. It too is a HP. To set up your HP ePrint account you need the printer's code number which can be printed from the printer's control panel. Once you have the printer code, you can then enter it in to your account to add your device. My problem is that my interent connection is the mobile phone which I use to connect my laptop to the internet. The printer is then connected to the computer using either the direct wireless feature or using the supplied USB cable. Because of this, I can't obtain the printer's code, from the printer's control panel. I do not use landline internet connection as the mobile phone is used as a modem.
What do I do?????????
Can I just phone technical support and ask them to email my printer code??????
This question was solved.

Hi,
No, this is not going to work and WON'T work at all. Your printer MUST be connected to the internet to allow ePrint to work. No point to send an email to printer and it is NOT there.

Prompt to Update Account with Mobile Phone Number WON'T STOP APPEARING

When signing in to Verizon a box keeps coming up to enter mobile phone number. I have been checking off "No Number" and it says account settings updated but the box keeps appearing. I have deleted cookies and history as instructed by cust. svc but that did not fix the problem. Using Firefox.

Thanks for contacting us MsSusan. I just attempted this, to test it out, and was able to confirm it works. If you have either the Internet Explorer or Chrome browser on your device, could I have you try it again with either of those browsers (After clearing cookies) and let us know your results?
Thanks,

Chromecast Constant Communication with my Phone

I have a Galaxy S3, running Android 4.3 and a Fios Actiontec rev I.
I'm having constant communication between my Chromecast and my Android phone and it's causing wakelocks on my phone (my phone won't sleep, so it's killing the battery faster).
The Plex app constantly communicating with my Chomecast and causing a wlan_rx_wake kernel wakelock.
I haven't run plex today at all and my plex server PC is off.
I ran a network traffic logger and I see 2 entries constantly.
Plex SRC 192.168.1.127 DST 239.255.255.250
Kernel SRC 192.168.1.127 DST 192.168.1.116
192.168.1.127 is my Chromecast IP and 192.168.1.116 is my phone IP.
If I force close plex, it stops temporarily, but plex soon gets loaded again and starts the communication over.
Same thing happens with the Vevo app, which is chromecast enabled as well. I've tried disabling both UPnP and IGMP Proxy, but nothing changed.
What's going on here? How can I get this to stop? It's preventing the phone from going into deep sleep.

Firstly Louise you're basically shouting at fellow Telstra customers here, this is a basic customer to customer help forum. Sound s like you might need to take advantage of the official Telstra complaint channels to have these matters investigated for you. You find the appropriate options for this at the fllowing link: https://say.telstra.com.au/customer/general/forms/Email-Complaint Oh, and it's never a good idea on a public internet forum to post personal details, eg. your email address, might be an idea to edit your post and remove it.

Communication with Mobile Device

What software/API/hardware do I need to communicate with a mobile device?

Hey, watertownjordan. i think you have a great idea. my SonyEricsson T68ie phone comes with bluetooth, i just want to communicate with my HP nc4000 laptop, which has bluetooth too.
i really need an app like that to make management of my phone much easier, cordlessly.
we can share info in time, [email protected] or MSN ID [email protected]
Sun provide a reference implementation of serial communication API. it seems not so good and a little bit deprecated.
and i only find one FREE bluetooth implementation at sourceforge.net website.

Cannot connect to Wifi with mobile phones.

Hi all, yesterday I started having a problem with connecting my phone and all the phones in my house to the web on my homehub3 wirelessly.
I've had BT infinity for well over a year now and never had any problems, but suddenly yesterday morning I can't connect to any of the Google services (google website, play store, google+ etc) any apps which connect to the web will not work (wikipedia app, my daughter's BBM app etc), also the smart TV in the house will not connect either. Ican access bookmarked websites on my phone but cannot search because while I can connect to search engines the server always times out before returning search results. Laptops in the house appear to work fine though.
I have reset the router and homehub several times, but nothing seems to work. The family use different phone models and Android versions (Galaxy S2, Galaxy S4 & HTC One M8, running Jellybean & KitKat)so it doesn't appear thats the problem
Anyone have any ideas what is going on?
Solved!

ITunes name change with Mobile Phone

I have a Motorola SLVR phone that I put songs on it using iTunes. My original name for the phone was long and I wanted to change it. Along the right hand side, I clicked on my mobile and renamed it. Now I am unable to add songs to it. There is a circle with a line through it when I try. The phone still has plenty of room on it to add songs. I do not remember the initial name to try to go back to. Did anyone encounter this problem and how did you resolve it? If not, any suggestions would be helpful because I tried everything I knew. Thanks.

Do you Know how to comunicate one Pc with mobile phones ??

I want to create a programm that connects my pc to my mobile and send to it some interesant applications. All that I made is a midlet (using Jsr-82) that tries to look for all the devices that are in a room but It couldn�t find anyone. Do I have to run something special in my mobile to be detected?
My Windows program detects 6 mobiles, but my program doesn�t detect anything. I want to make one program without MIDlet? Could anyone help me with some code? I only want one program that detects in my Wireless Toolkit all the mobiles, It could be possible ? If not, which program recommend me to use.
I know that there are too many questions but it is very interesting theme.

You imported one library to another?
Do you still have the original Library? If so, start over and do it right.
Trash the messed up library.
Copy the old library from the old machine.
Open the Library.
