[Asterisk-Users] PBX (Asterisk) <-> Cellular Phone Network

[Andrew Thompson]

I wasn't able to figure out why they have two models, but basically, you take your SIM card out of your GSM phone and put it in the device. It turns your cellphone into a FXO(?). You'll need a X100p or a channel bank to plug it into your asterisk.

Sucks if you use CDMA...
