Any API in blackberry to make a call and send data. I want to dial a number and send some data using GSM data(not GPRS). any help or pointers would be appreciated.
A:
You can send and receive data by SMS:

If you want, you can hook call and send SMS automatically:

Actually, I don't want to send as SMS as my data size is quite high(around 32K). Also this has to be not sent in single packet, but series of handshakes and parts of data.

in other words can I use the Blackberry as a GSM modem from an application running on the blackberry itself. I know it's possible to use the blackberry as a GSM modem from a PC.

A:
you can use a StreamConnection
String url = "socket://" + host + ":" + port
+ (checked ? "":";deviceside=true");
StreamConnection connection = (StreamConnection) Connector.open(url,
Connector.READ_WRITE, true);
deviceside=false indicates that the blackberry will connect to the Internet with a proxy in your MDS
deviceside=true open a direct TCP connection
