Send/receive SMS on 3510i using data cable?

Hi

Does anyone know how I can send and receive SMS messages using a data
cable with a Nokia 3510i?

Does the 3510i implement GSM standard 07.05 or
does it have something else?

Thanks in advance

This Nokia 3510i is an old phone now. It is (or at least used to be)
possible to get a device that you could attach to it for sending SMS,
and I used to have one.

It arrived without any instructions and it took me a while to work out
how to attach it to the phone. It needed to be installed into the
battery compartment, and then the battery was inserted into the device.
It meant taking the back off the phone and fiddling around every time I
wanted to connect it to my PC.

That would be standard AT commands? AFAIK the Nokia 3510i doesn't use
them.

I think I'd advise trading the Nokia 3510i in for something else if you
want to hook your mobile up to your PC.

Beware that Motorola phones aren't able to do 'smart messaging' via a
cable, which means no long SMS.

Thanks for reply Martin

Yeah, the way the cable is attached is a bit of a hassle, but I am
actually interested in getting an application of mine to work with the
3510i. However, I haven't managed to find any information what protocol
it is using and I don't have a phone to test on at the moment.

Does anyone know what protocol the 3510i uses on the serial interface
for sending/receving SMS? Is it some proprietary Nokia protocol? And
where can I find the specification?

Many thanks
