+# UART Read 
+
+### ~hint
+![](/static/bluetooth/Bluetooth_SIG.png)
+
+For another device like a smartphone to use any of the Bluetooth "services" which the micro:bit has, it must first connect to the micro:bit.
+
+### ~
+
+The [Bluetooth UART service](start-uart-service.md) allows another device such as a smartphone to exchange any data it wants to with the micro:bit, in small chunks. 
+
+With the Bluetooth UART service running, this block allows a micro:bit to read data which has been received from a Bluetooth connected device, terminating reading and returning the value obtained as soon as a specified delimiter character is encountered. This means that connected devices can send data to the micro:bit and indicate that the complete message has been sent by appending the message with the delimiter character.
+
+```sig
+bluetooth.uartRead("");
+```
+
+### Example: Starting the Bluetooth UART service and then reading data received from another device which is terminated by ":" character and then displaying it
+
+```blocks
+let uart_data: string = "";
+let connected = 0;
+basic.showString("UART");
+bluetooth.startUartService();
+bluetooth.onBluetoothConnected(() => {
+    basic.showString("C");
+    connected = 1;
+    while (connected == 1) {
+        uart_data = bluetooth.uartRead(":");
+        basic.showString(uart_data);
+    }
+});
+bluetooth.onBluetoothDisconnected(() => {
+    basic.showString("D");
+});
+
+```
