ports

I ve connected my mobile phone to my PC and used this,

string[] lPorts = System.IO.Ports.SerialPort.GetPortNames();

and the result was an array of port names

"COM4"
"COM3"
"COM1"
"COM7"
"COM6"

Now,How to find which serial port is currently used/to which port my mobile phone is connected in c#?
