I have just tried to connect to usb mobile to send sms through it using AT commands. But when i use pyserial to connect to it in a windows os, i get error could not open port, the file specified cannot be found.
>>> import serial
>>> ser = serial.Serial(0) # open first serial port
>>> print ser.name # check which port was really used
>>> ser.write("hello") # write a string
>>> ser.close()
even if i replace the 0 with any other value, like 0 -10 or 'com0','com1' etc, i still get error file specified not found, port cannot be open.
There is a command listed in pyserial documentation which lists ports or allows you to open a port
python -m serial.tools.miniterm
This command is supposed to list all serial ports. But it shows none.
I have 3 usb ports on my system. What is causing this issue.

I found the solution myself. Its pretty simple and uses the same code in the question.. I was getting blocked error because there was no modem(nokia phone) in my device manager. although i had plugged in my phone into the usb, there was no nokia pc suite installed. Once you install nokia pc suite and connect your nokia phone, in device manager -> modems your phone will appear. Just check its properties->modem and you will find the com5 or whichever number. Then use that id to connect. If you dont know this, just iterate till you find the right one.
Thanks everyone who tried to help
