That would require the cell phone to support such functionality. You need to do some research and find one that does.

I know the Motorola Razr V3x will let you do some things while it is plugged in via USB. You can type a text message on your computer and send it via the cell phone, but the on-phone display just shows "sending".

Why would that be 'obvious'? Do *all* blue tooth cell phones support SMS from a PC over bluetooth? I don't think so. Just because a cell and a laptop both have bluetooth doesn't mean they can do *everything* together. Your bluetooth cell probably has a camera in it too: but I bet you can't fire it from laptop, or use it a laptop webcam.

You can only do what the manufacturers support in their firmware and API.

Write the cell phone maker for a SDK (Software Developer's Kit). If they tell you they don't provide one then you will have a hard time working out what features they do support, and don't. Not impossible, but hard.

Hi,
try to connect the phone to the computer and use the HyperTerminal to send AT commands to the phone.
