If I connected a Symbian cellphone to PC via usb, is there any way to remotely and programmatically read IMEI. Nokia Ovi Suite can read it but I didn't see any public APIs.
In most simple Nokia phones you can do this by sending AT+CGSN\r\n on the serial port of the modem of the phone. However if I remember well on smartphones Nokia disabled this feature for some reason. Anyhow it worth a try. Here's a nice tutorial on how to do this: http://www.developer.nokia.com/Community/Wiki/AT_Commands
