connecting more than one mobile

Hi everybody,

Platform information :

Technology : GSM
OS : Windows XP Service Pack 2.
Mobile Model : Motorola L2
Driver Software : Widcomm
Bluetooth Dongle: X-Micro Bluetooth 2.0 Plus

I am not able to connect more than one motorola mobile at a time.
Whenever I connect the mobile it automatically connects via Dial-up Networking and takes one COM Port.(It didn't show serial port option). If I connect another motorola mobile, It takes the same COM port and connects via DUN connection. Now I need n number of different ports for n number of mobiles. So Now I can connect only one motorola mobile at a time. I tried in Hyperterminal (by opening 2 or more instances of hyperterminal and giving the same COM port, it shows "Another program is using the selected Telephony device"). Any solution? please help me.

Are you doing this in VB6?

Your BT dongle resides at one COM port (or serial port - same thing). You can't connect 2 devices to a single COM port. And a single BT dongle can't associate with 2 devices at the same time.

What, exactly, are you trying to do (in English, not in programming terms)? If you have 2 phones connected to the same computer at the same time, both connected to the internet, how will any program know which one to use to connect to the internet?

Or are you trying to accomplish something else?

I am using C#.Net 2005.
I am developing software to send bulk sms. Now it can connect one mobile and send sms.

When I was using Gigabyte Bluetooth dongle, I can connect more than one mobile at a time through my software. It takes different COM port for each mobile. Unfortunately Gigabyte is not available in market (India - Chennai) and also Gigabyte is expensive one.

The Gigabyte BT adapter has multiple ports. If you're using a BT adapter with a single port, you can only connect to one mobile at a time.

However, if you're using this for sms spamming (why else would you need to send more than 1 sms at a time), you won't get any help here - helping spammers is not allowed. If that's not what you're trying to do, ignore the comment.

No, this is not sms spam software. It can be integrate with customers existing database and fetch the data from them and intimate them in time.

1. For example a patient having appointment 10 AM, then the software intimate the patient at 9 AM that he shoud come at 10 AM. (Single Sms Application)
2. An insurance company having lot of customers. Our software will integrate with that. And will send sms to those customers whose date expires on a particular date. (It is not spamming, But bulk sms application). If we send the sms one by one, then it will take 2 or more days. Then it won't reach them on time.

So please help me. I could not connect more than one motorola L2 mobile at a time. It is always taking DUN connection and I could not connect more than one mobile through widdcom driver.

You can use a BT adapter with more than one port, or you can use more than one single-port BT adapter. You can't connect to more than 1 mobile with one single-port device. It's not that the software is difficult, or it can't be done in C#, it can't be done by the computer at all. A computer can only connect to a single device on a single BT port. (It can output blind to multiple serial devices over an RS-232 port, with the right hardware, but you can't send an sms blind, so that won't help you. You simply have to have one port per mobile.)
