Getting base station name using J2ME

Question

Hi all,

How can get the base station name using J2ME?

Answer 1

I'm not aware of any way generally for vanilla J2ME/MIDP. Specific platforms though may provide some way. For example, with BlackBerry you can use net.rim.device.api.system.GPRSInfo and related classes.

Answer 2

Unfortunatly it's not a standard implementation and it changes from a manufacturer to another. however you can try this code:

String cellID = System.getProperty("com.sonyericsson.net.cellid");  
if (cellID == null)
     cellID = System.getProperty("CellID");

It works on most SonyEricsson phones and Motorola. If you have luck, with other brands.
