[Asterisk-Users] Re: * > Mobile Phone > Mobile Network

I'll second PaulH's recommendation of the Telular SX-5e units. They
plug into an FXO on the Asterisk machine (or wherever). Put anyone's
capped SIM into the thing, and you're communicating with the GSM
network. As a little added bonus, there's a serial port for sending
and receiving text messages. You can either send AT-commands to the
thing (it works like a modem), or get some software like SMS Server
Tools to do it for you.

There are also PRI-interface based units, but they're expensive and
really designed for high-end uses. Also expensive (but said to be
coming down in price soon) is a SIP-based box called the VoiceBlue.
