c#/.net access phone reception

[cerjam]

i highly doubt this is possible from what i've read, but is there any way to get current phone reception %, or anything regarding reception?

or alternatively, is there any program that'll record reception statistics in realtime to a textfile or something of the sort. or hell, just display it onscreen.

thanksguys.

PhoneSignalStrength - Get the phone signal strength, expressed as a percentage of full strength.

Alternatively, read the value straight out of the registry itself at:-

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\State\Phone\Signal Strength

It returns a doubleword value of the % strength of the signal. Not all values are returned, just a discrete subset of values, 100,90,60,30,10 etc. it depends on the phone manufacturer.
