you can't access the phones number. Basically it is not even necessarily stored in the SIM card at all. Some functionalities such as address book from SIM can be accesses using non-public API from etelbgsm.h header file (can be found from 9210 SDK), but they only work with OS 6.1 phones.

To access your sim card information you can use
etelbgsm.h

To access contact from SIM use
Class RGsmPhoneBook

and in open method use SIM_PHONEBOOK.

Hi,
i need to read SIM contact.I am using S60 public sdks for Symbian v7.0s ,
v8.0a and v8.1. I cannot find any API in the public sdks to read SIM contacts. Although I am quite sure that it can be done in sdk of Symbian v6.0 or by using private sdk, but i want to be sure whether it is possible, by any means, to achieve the same using S60 public sdks for Symbian v7.0s ,
v8.0a and v8.1. Any input will be highly appreciated.

Thanks,
atanu

As symbianyucca has suggested

you will have to use etelbgsm.h (link against gsmbas.lib)

I have used following classed from it

RTelServer iTelServer;
RBasicGsmPhone iPhone;
RGsmPhoneBook iPhoneBook;
RGsmPhoneBook::TEntry iEntry;

You will have to open RBasicGsmPhone same as RPhone
Then open phone book as

iPhoneBook.Open(iPhone, SIM_PHONEBOOK); //there are other version of //PHONE BOOK available check the etelbgsm.h for detail

then read the phone book as
iPhoneBook.ReadFirst(iStatus,iEntry);
SetActive();

//For next enrty ReadNext

Hi MicMen, have you tried it on OS 7/8 devices ? I remember trying it out some two years ago with 6600 and it failed with -5 (KErrNotSupported), so would quess it wouldn't work on other OS 7 & 8 devices.

You got a good memory.
yes, I was trying it nearly 2 years ago

previouly I was getting that error
but then it was successfull. I could read the SIM caontacts and SMS
by the same method I have just posted.

6600 is 7.0 OS only
but I have not checked with 8.x

Hi Micky,Yucca,Kiran
thanks for your replies.

But "etelbgsm.h" is not present in S60 public sdks like 'Series 60 SDK 2.1 (Symbian 7.0s)' or 'Series 60 2nd Edition SDK Feature Pack 2 (Symbian 8.0a)' or 'Series 60 2nd Edition Feature Pack 3 (Symbian 8.1a)' . I know that i can get this header file / related libraries in 9200 SDK. But it will not be a straight way solution. I just want to be sure that reading SIM contacts is not possible using the above mentioned public sdks.Do you corroborate my opinion?

Hi All,

Iam using the above code for reading the sim contacts for 2nd edition phones(6600) but i'm struck up with the following error.

CONTACTIEAPPUI.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: int __thiscall RGsmPhoneBook::ReadFirst(class RGsmPhoneBook::TEntry &)" (?ReadFirst@RGsmPhoneBook@@QAEHAAVTEntry@1@@Z)
CONTACTIEAPPUI.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: int __thiscall RGsmPhoneBook::Open(class RPhone &,class TDesC16 const &)" (?Open@RGsmPhoneBook@@QAEHAAVRPhone@@ABVTDesC16@@@Z)

CONTACTIEAPPUI.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: __thiscall RBasicGsmPhone::RBasicGsmPhone(void)" (??0RBasicGsmPhone@@QAE@XZ)




So please tell me which are the header files and libraries i need to include and what changes i need to make.



Thanks,

[micmen]

Hi

Seems like library is not included
please add gsmgas.lib (for basic GSm capablity) and gsmadv.lib (for advance GSM capablity)

Micky Menezes

[micmen]

Hi,

I am Very sorry.

It is not gsmgas.lib but gsmbas.lib (for basic GSM)

Hi All,

I resolved the above errors by adding the etelmm.h but now i'm facing another set of errors

I searched all the SDK's and threads in forum nokia but not able to find which header file or library is missing.

The header files are etel.h and etel.lib.
But the problem is you are using S60 2nd edition FP2.
With those there is a stripped version of etel.h.

[micmen]

I am afraid. You might be having the cut down version of etelmm.lib.
To confirm open the etelmm.lib in any notepad and check for the entry of the function for which you are getting link error.

Instead of etelmm you can make use use of etelagsm.h and etelbgsm.h link it against gsmadv.lib and gsmbas.lib respectively.

IMSI number can be extracted by making use of the above.

Check

RAdvGsmPhone::GetSubscriberId

Please note this has been deprecated now.
