[asterisk-users] GSM cellphone as cheap gateway?

[Vijay Gandhi]

The FCT's in india, do support 4 bands which are standard for GSM.
Moreover I am not marketing any product, it was just a information I shared
since somebody on the list asked for it.

Keep in mind that these units are country dependent.
In different parts of the world GSM is found on at least 4 different 
bands, and to be a true "world " unit would need to be able to use all 
4, just as mobile "world" handsets do.

$300US isn't really a bad price, given that many mobile phones are 
subsidized by the carriers, at least in the US, with a 1-2 year 
contract, and are SIM locked to that carrier.
