Protocol stack & platform questions

0 replies · 1,341 views · Started 05 August 2004

I want to try and modify a series60 mobile phone to demonstrate the integration of a mobile phone feature I�m trying to sell. I�ve been reading through the book �Symbian OS c++ for mobile phones, and can see how to create dialogs, menus, screen processing etc

Question 1 is certainly not answered in the book
Questions 4-6 the answer is I�m sure yes, so the question is how easily ?

1 Can I interrogate the GSM/GRPS/UMTS protocol stack for the MCC ?
The MCC identifies the country of the network (of the base station). The PLMN is the MCC and the NCC together, so the MCC can be extracted from the PLMN. The PLMN is 15 bits and is present in some system information messages broadcast on the BCCH by the base station the mobile is camped on?

2 Can I be notified whenever the MCC changes?

3 Can I extend the redial list menu, to give it one or two extra menu items?

4 Can I read the redial list?

5 Can I read the phonebook, and create entries in it?

6 Can I install my handler to be executed which might pop up a dialog whenever the users attempts to make a call, and might change the number to be dialled or abort dialing?
