    Let me get this straight, a message is sent to a Bluetooth enabled device, which in turn relays it (using Java) to a mobile?

    Off the top of my head, the simplest solution would be a PC with a Bluetooth key or equivalent as the ‘device’. This would typically mean that incoming messages would be written as text files when received and could then be opened and read using your Java app. After this you could relay (via SMS) them either through a direct connection to a GSM modem or a HTTP connection to a third party provider (or even deep linking into one of the operators free Web services).

    Using a phone rather than a PC would be considerably trickier, and TBH I don’t know if you could do it with Java, as J2ME would not allow you to read incoming messages, let alone send them. There a Symbian or Pocket PC based application might be your only option.

    Thanks for that, was originally going to use javax.comm but no serial port on my laptop so that idea went out the window!!!
