RE: [Asterisk-biz] GSM Gateway for £60

I can't see any reason why they are illegal in the US since it is like using
a mobile. Unless you start changing the IMEI on it or do funny thing on it.

Anyone who can confirm if GSM gateway is legal to use in US/Canada? About 1
year ago one of my clients want to install one in a show that they have many
staff to attend and we check the conference and they said this is illegal to
use in US.

Any update now?

Correct.
I don't have hard facts on this unit as I'm still contemplating getting one.
You don't think of it as a "base" with a certain range like a 2.4GHz home
phone.
If the unit has a SIM and you have one in your phone from the same provider,
the unit can be sitting in the west coast and you can make a free in-network
call from the east coast to the unit and DISA into your
* box and vice versa.

It might look like I'm doing nothing, but at the cellular level, I'm really
quite busy.
