But if you have unlimited Night and weekends, unlimited mobile to<br>
mobile, etc.. It would work really nice for saving money. Also, it is
agood fail over in case your VoIP goes down or could even be used for
limited 911 access in the case of no POTS line. There are also some
free incoming plans where you do not use minutes for any incoming
calls. <br>

Also, Cell sockets are not just for GSM, but TDMA and CDMA phones as
well, in the US, and probably elsewhere. I don't think they make one
for the Nextel iDen, but who knows where that will end up after the
Sprint merger..<br>
Cellsockets output POTS, looking much like an FXS, so they can go into
any loop start PBX circuit.<br>
Calls can be made with DTMF, and terminated by a # to represent the
send key. Incoming calls provide a ring signal. They can also be
connected, of course, to any analog phone<br>
They fit a limited number of phones, though.<br>
