What phone will it be? It makes a difference. Each one is different, and they usually come with SDKs.

no specific phone model is mentioned , the phone models which support this program will be suggested by me, but probably they need it to be supported by a wide range of phones and probably the most common models, so I think the more general way is better , but if there is not such a way (standard j2me for example ) , any model specific approach will be good .

thanks for your attention

You'll probably want to use Java. However, there are a LOT of assumptions going on about the capabilities of the phone that are not necessarily valid. I would get a lot more details about the target phones before investing energy in choosing a language that may not be supported.

As an example, my phone can run Java programs, but has absolutely no internet connectivity whatsoever.
