As usual, > cheap is better :-)sure, mainly you can use gsm boxes with pstn to gsm interfaces. for example: for 1 gsm chan, you can use a box with an fxs interface on it, and can be connected to * via a single x100p (one fxo interface) Or for multi channels, you can go with a bri->gsm box, and interface it to * via a bri card (junghanns.net drivers) or even pri, with 16 or more channels (connected to the * with a pri card, ie te110p) or even sip... no card on the * box, but connected via a sip voip link. www.2n.cz has some of these products, but there're tons of them out there. prices? dunno exactly, the only that I'm aware of is that a bri -> gsm (2 gsm chans) is something like 800 ?

Check the archives of the asterisk-users for that, because it's something, that commonly has been asked before. Another alternative would be chan_bluetooth, (http://www.crazygreek.co.uk/content/chan_bluetooth), but that is in a state far from working.

It works reasonably well but has some anoying "features", like taking 5-10 seconds to establish a call, hangup detection problems, cdr records always being answered, etc, etc. It's doable but not perfect.> Any tips on this? >I haven't tried ISDN GSM Terminals but do have fixed-land ISDN. ISDN is so much more reliable (faster setup, proper cdr and billing seconds, better voice quality) that I would consider a ISDN GSM terminal. Try searching google for quasar smartcell. A Voip-GSM terminal sounds even better. No need for FXO, ISDN, etc. And you could manage it remotly. The Ateus Voice Blue looks good but I haven't had a change to try it out. Google around.. you find nice stuff like: http://www.thehightechstore.com/cellinterface.html Let me know about your experiences. Regards, Leandro Morgado
Hi List, I was wondering if there was any device I could use to connect * to GSM networks. I don't need much capacity, maybe 2-4 GSM channels. As usual, cheap is better :-) Any tips on this? Cheers, Jean-Michel.
