How do i get the Network mangemnt report from a mobile

Hi, I will suggest you a very simple way of tracking the Cell-ID. I have tried it and it works in a large number of phones. Just ask for it to the internal GSM modem by sending an AT command. You will find the GSM modem attached to a phone's COM serial port. You can write your own mobile application or connect the phone to a computer through a serial port and use a program such as "Hyper Terminal" to send these AT commands. The AT commands you need are: 1- switch to Cell-id report mode at+creg=2 2- ask for the Cell-id at+creg? this command will show you four values: n,stat,lac,id where n = reporting mode stat = registration state lac = area code ci = cell ID I hope this helps you...

what am aiming to do is something like net monitor as i need to get the serving and neighboring cells seen by the handset and their corresponding Rx-level and then transmit them to a server where they will be used to locate the handset location,the only problem is that i cann;t access this data..

Another problem is that at best you will only get the Cell-ID's (typically numeric numbers) - you do not know where they are in order to locate yourself relative to them. Operators are constantly changing these as they roll out improved coverage. In VF-UK we use a form of this cell database to do just what you describe for our own location services, but within the network, and always up-to-date. I doubt we could make this public - if only for transmitter security!

Dear yousef, I haven't tried this myself but came across the following post, which seems to suggest this is possible (certianly for Symbian OS v9.1). Which version of Symbian are you developing for? http://www.symbian.com/developer/techlib/v9.1docs/doc_source/guide/Telephony-subsystem-guide/N1013A/info_network.html I will also check with a colleague who I think may have had some experience in doing this.
