[asterisk-users] GSM SIM Cards and Digium, or GSM SIM Adaptor
Hi List;
Is there an Digium cards support GSM SIM cards so we
can fix an SIM card to be used for calls within
mobiles as it is less rate?
Or I have to use an FXS to SIM adaptor? If yes, then
anyone advise a models and prices?
Regards
Bilal

This is an extremely cool app. The phone can be used as an FXO and/or an extension. You can also use bluetooth headsets as FXSs. There are also GSM cards but I have no experience with them yet. I would like to test a quad port one sometime soon but in passive research, they seem to be sold outside of the US. Hopefully someone will post details on a card sold in the US.

They're a bit more expensive, but it'll save you many hours playing with echo cancellation and gain settings on the FXS module. Regards, Chris -- C.M. Bagnall, Director, Minotaur I.T.

But yes - cool indeed. -- Tzafrir Cohen icq#16849755 jabber:tzafrir.cohen at xorcom.com +972-50-7952406 mailto:tzafrir.cohen at xorcom.com http://www.xorcom.com iax:guest at local.xorcom.com/tzafrir

If yes, then > anyone advise a models and prices?A few solutions - If you want to go down the analogue port route, then this: http://www.discountphonesystems.co.uk/acatalog/Analogue_GSM_Gateway.html works well. If you want to stay in the SIP/digital domain, then there are these too: http://www.discountphonesystems.co.uk/acatalog/IP-GSM-Gateway.html There are PCI cards which take 1-4 SIM cards, but I've not heard much about them in the news recently, and last time I enquired, their price was somewhat substantial... (However the lack of additional wiring, mains plugs, etc. required may well be an advantage in their favour) I'd presonally avoid any sort of bluetooth solution in anything resembling a commercial environment. Give me a bit of wire, anyday! Cheers, Gordon

I wondered about multiple dongles since they are so cheap but never went so far as to test it. If memory serves me correctly, you can have 127 USB devices (per controller I believe and they obviously must have enough power to run the dongle). What I am not sure about is the ability in chan_mobile to have multiple dongles or how many bluetooth devices can operate due to RF bandwidth in a small location.

I think what you need is a GSM Gateway You can find a cheap one at cyber-telecom.net The model you should be looking for is CT-G1000 or 2000 Plug the SIM in there and it will give you a RJ11 telephone port where you plug into something like X100P then you are ok to go..

It is more economical to get a hardware GSM Gateway from places like cyber-telecom.net and then plug it in a X100P Sam -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces at lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces at lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of bilal ghayyad Sent: Monday, January 14, 2008 8:43 PM To: asterisk-users at lists.digium.com Subject: [asterisk-users] GSM SIM Cards and Digium, or GSM SIM Adaptor Hi List; Is there an Digium cards support GSM SIM cards so we can fix an SIM card to be used for calls within mobiles as it is less rate?
