The Nokia E60 and E61 can do this, however it's over WiFi<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 10/17/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">Brian Candler</b> <<a href="mailto:B.Candler@pobox.com">B.Candler@pobox.com</a>> wrote:

<br><br>I was wondering about the different ways it can be used. What I have read so<br>far implies two possibilities:<br><br>1. Asterisk pretends to be a handsfree unit, and can use the cell phone<br> for placing calls over the mobile network, or answer inbound calls from
<br> the mobile network.<br><br>2. Asterisk pretends to be a phone, and you can use a headset as a VoIP<br> terminal (unfortunately only useful for receiving calls, as headsets<br> don't have keypads)<br><br>However, the possibility which really interests me is:
<br><br>3. Can I use my mobile phone as a terminal, originating calls over<br> bluetooth via Asterisk, using the phone's keypad to dial? And answering<br> inbound calls from Asterisk?<br><br>This makes my mobile phone into a cordless phone replacement - avoiding
<br>mobile charges while at home, and being able to receive PSTN and VoIP calls<br>via Asterisk.<br><br>I notice BT's "Fusion" service appears to work in this way -<br><a href="http://www.bt.com/btfusion/">http://www.bt.com/btfusion/
</a> - as it looks like you get a normal mobile phone<br>which can route VoIP calls via Bluetooth and DSL when in range of the base<br>station.<br><br>So the question is:<br>- has anyone got Asterisk working this way?<br>
- what bluetooth profile would the phone need to support to do this?<br>- does that limit me to particular models of mobile phone?<br><br>If this is possible, it's not clear to me how the phone would know that I<br>wanted to set up a call over bluetooth rather than over the mobile network.
<br>Would I need to load some sort of app onto the phone?<br><br>Thanks,<br><br>Brian.<br>_______________________________________________<br>--Bandwidth and Colocation provided by <a href="http://Easynews.com">Easynews.com
