Have you contacted the author? He might be able to help you out much
more effectively than we can.

I've extended the t616hack distribution to deal with messages - it
contains a library which is used to communicate with Sony Ericsson
telephones using AT commands - and that might give you some ideas
about the principles involved. See here for the package:

One significant enhancement made to t616hack is support for Bluetooth
sockets, meaning that you don't need to worry about baud rates, serial
devices and other low-level details. There's no direct support for a
message server, but I have a Web application that I use personally for
accessing messages on my telephone.
