[asterisk-biz] DID in France redirected to UK cellphone on T-Mobile?

[Trixter aka Bret McDanel]

Given how critical you are to responses, I dont know how many more will
want to risk saying anything on this issue.

For example the gateway could be a single line device and nothing more,
originally I believe you called it a pbx, which indicates that you didnt
really read what it was.  They also speak sip, which generally has lower
rates to things like mobiles than most fixed line providers.  But if a
single line device is not needed because its an individual, I dont know
of much else that is smaller.  Perhaps your best bet would be a 0 line
device since you have been so critical of every other solution.

Uhh you did say "at least to his UK landline" so um yeah 



Maybe some people did read what you wrote, and they responded to what
you wrote, and while it wasnt what you wanted, it was what you asked
for.  

Your use of the term 'cellphone' indicates that you are most likely
north american, and you may not have a firm grasp of how things work in
europe.  mobile calls are expensive, short of forwarding for 30 cents or
so per minute ($0.50 USD) you arent likely to find something, so the
solutions provided so far are mostly the lower cost alternatives, after
all he is an individual right?  And for detractors remember its france
to UK mobile forwarding as the primary choice, which is more than in
country mobile stuff.

You can receive calls to a mobile for free over here, so the gsm gateway
wouldnt be that bad of an idea if you could locate it in france (or get
a SIM that gave free inbound anywhere in the EU, they do exit). 

Additionally most EU countries regulate the distribution of geographic
DIDs such that you have to reside or work in the country to get one
(some like Ireland say that you have to live or work where the DID is
from not just anywhere in the country).  Mobiles generally dont have
that restriction.

So most of the suggestions that you scoffed at were either *exactly*
what you asked for or within the scope of what you asked for.  I dont
see why you are so hard on people trying to help you out unless you dont
really want help.
