    Hi,
    I'm developing a J2ME app where I need to get the CELL-ID.

    Does any of the Irish networks provide this functionality?

    This link show a simple MIDlet that should display it:
    http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.php/CS000947_-_Getting_Cell_ID_in_Java_ME

    it requires at least: S60 3rd Edition, FP2 or SonyEricsson Java platform 7.3
    (s40 requires signing)

    Instead of System.getProperty("com.nokia.mid.cellid")
    SonyEricsson might use: System.getProperty("com.sonyericsson.net.cellid");

    Does anyone know - or can they try and see if it works?

    Thanks in advance,
    Barry.

    I've found at least 3 and O2 do so I imagine they all support it.

    I had an impression that it's a universal feature. However you can't get Cell ID on Nokia S40.

    It wouldn't be down to the mobile network. It would be dependant on the api's available on the phone.

    It's definitely possible on Symbian S60 and I think Windows Mobile but I'm not sure about other platforms

    Technically all phones get the Cell ID when connecting to the network. The trick having a platform on the phone that will allow you to get this and then turning it into meaningful data (such as a location).

    I have a B683 data router with 3, It gives me the Cell ID, E.g. 3178, dunno if this is any use, I have no idea of coding and all associated.

    Just very curious, why have you chosen J2ME?
