At http://www.devx.com/wireless/Article/39709/1954 there is an interesting
example of a program in C# for a Windows Mobile phone that should return the
current cell tower information for the device.

Has anyone tried this and been able to retrieve that information. The
code works fine for me until the line

// use RIL to get cell tower info with the RIL handle just created
hRes = RIL_GetCellTowerInfo(hRil);

in Ril.cs.

There the program hangs and never returns the information.

My phone is an HTC 6800 running Win Mobile 6.1.

Additionally, does anyone know if the above project works on some phone but
not all?

Thanks

The code at http://dalelane.co.uk/blog/post-images/080312-rilcode.cs.txt is
the source for the code at http://www.devx.com/wireless/Article/39709/1954,
which I used, so the same thing happens--no information is returned from the
phone regarding the cell tower.

Perhaps my phone will must not allow the retrieval of such information.

As already mentioned this function is OEM specific so not all devices will
return information.
