asterisk users - May 2011 - Slightly OT: Android phone as sip-gw?

Hi,

i have some spare (read: Boss get's a new one every few month ;)) Android
Phones laying around. Does someone know a way of using them as a mobile
gateway for asterisk? I could not find any SIP-Gateway in the Market, and i
don't think it's possible to use the GSM Audio directly with something
like
chan_datacard...

Regards,

Jay

Jay,

AFAIK you can only use chan_datacard with a specific USB modem (I can not recall
the name at the moment).

I have tried it and it works well for both Audio and SMS messages.

You may want to try chan_mobile which works over blue tooth.

Regards,

Dovid

Portech has made GSM and CDMA gateways for years - nothing that works
with your "old" Android phones, though.

Chan_datacard can selected model of huawei usb modem for voice and sms.

Chan_mobile on  the other hand use bluetooth connection for voice. I have not
tried sms. For mobile phone, it seeMs nokia is quite good.

I used older Nokia phones with chan_mobile/chan_bluetooth for incoming 
calls. I vaguely believe that the documentation stated some of them 
could be used for outgoing calls as well. I believe it depends on which 
Bluetooth headset stack the actual phone implements. I'm afraid I don't 
know if any of the Android phones have the right Bluetooth 
implementation to do outgoing calls.

I'm actually quite curious about the results - could you post here if 
you find a way please.
