Access through JAVA application in mobile phone

Introduction - what is it?

It was possible to access Mobile Connection using SMS or SIM Toolkit until these days. New types of mobile phones support JAVA programs running - this application is intended for them to make MCO/MCN access easier. Some advantages of this application: From the outside application behaves in the same way as SIM Toolkit - it creates and sends SMS according you commands. For reading SMS received back from MCO/MCN are valid rules described here.

Supported phones

To run application, your phone must support MIDP 2.0 specification (Mobile Information Device Profile - it provides a basic J2ME application runtime environment targeted at mobile information devices). There is exception for Siemens phones series 50, 55, 65, which works on platform MIDP 1.0. If you need to discover which specification is supported by your phone, see this page (not only phones can be listed here!).

How to install application into phone

You can find JAVA program for phones in \support\MobilChange\MobileJava\ folder of installation CD - separated for every platform (MIDP_1.0 and MIDP_2.0 folders). Program consists of .JAR and .JAD file - you need save both of them into mobile phone in the same folder.

Application can be loaded into phone by two manners:

  1. Using PC - phone is connected to the PC using serial cable, IrDA etc. and you use special SW from phone manufacturer (Nokia PC Suite for Nokia, Data Exchange Software for Siemens etc.), or universal SW like MobilEdit!. Use directions from manufacturer - for example when using Siemens MT50, application must be saved under java\jam folder, see picture.
  2. Using WAP push (target phone must have GPRS enabled and APN for both WAP and GPRS configured). Using this method you can acquire application from this address http://www.ums.cz/UMSmidlet/web/default.php. You enter your Mobilchange installation ID (you must have valid maintenance) and other information into form. Subsequently you'll be sent a WAP push SMS with link to the application.

Application usage

Start application according to the manufacturer's directions (for Siemens MT50 use Menu - Surf & fun - Games & more - Mobilchange).
 Nokia6230 menu Mobilchange logo appears and after a few seconds menu is displayed (its size and color depends on phone features): Before first use you need to configure application - so use Settings first. ATTENTION when using diacritics - not all modules (e.g. M20T) supports Unicode SMS, so SMS can be incorrectly addressed and processed!
Every time you confirm your selection and application will be sending SMS, you'll be asked to allow SMS sending. It is correct behavior - it forbids to write program (virus), which sends SMS without any limitation with negative effect to your account balance at GSM provider.
