Is there a standard I have to confom to if I want to use mobile services on a mobile device (i.e. O2, virgin, Orange ect) if its not for commercial purposes (fun ) where can I find the specs needed to read simcards and communicate with the mobile companys network and are there any 'legal' issues? If so, is there a better way of providing internet access and communication between devices?
hmm, are you talking about a network between devices? And something like cables just wouldnt work, and as such you have considered using phones as a 'medium' between the two devices??
