Cell Phone Communication

Hi,
I want to create an application that communicates with a cell phone (not
smartphone) to synchronize data (contacts, appointments and tasks). could
this be done by extending Activesync. In general how could I communicate
with my cell phone using C#.

Any ideas? Any points where to start?

Thanks in advance
Patrick

You mean just some general, non-Windows phone? There's really no way to do
it. ActiveSync will only work with CE devices, and you can't write service
providers in C# for ActiveSync anyway.

Bad news. But ist there any other way to work around, just to communicate
with the non-windows cell phone?

There might be, but there's no "standard" on how a phone might communicate,
so it would be totally phone dependent. Not sure if the provider/OEM of the
phone provides any protocol information for you either, so you might have no
way to even know how it communicates.

Hi Chris,
do you know any resources of any manufacturer, so that I can get an
impression and can make some trials?

Thanks
Patrick

Your best bet is to contact the OEM in question directly.
