I never used it but it was reported to work, here there is also a list

maybe with some Sony Ericsson software of the era, also a Nokia PC
Suite of the era could work

if you can send one to me I can look at it, SMS are likely to e in a
somewhat standard format, while contacts are likely to be harder to
understand, but you can do test yourself if SMS are in the same format
as the AT protocol:
mkdir /tmp/sms/
hexdump -v -e '/1 "%02X"' <my-file.ecs >/tmp/sms/1
gnokii --phone fake --getsms ME 1

> I see, do you know any alternatives to this?

only if you can get a standard connection method to work, for example
obexftp ca read the entire phonebook in vCard format:

obexftp --bluetooth 00:11:22:33:44:55 --get telecom/pb.vcf
and the same with --irda or --usb
