[Asterisk-Users] Zaptel (Junghanns 4BRI card) to cell phoneproblem

[C. Tomlinson]

Mark,

Did you have to make any changes to use the premicell, or was it as simple
as an outgoing landline call? 
I am looking into doing this as you can get deals where calls between chosen
numbers are free :-)

Thanks

In South Africa, I have a 4-port ISDN BRI (Euro-ISDN) with bristuff.
Calls to Cell phones are no different to any other call...

I also added a Digium 4-port analogue card - and have a 'PremiCell'
connected to a Trunk line. The PremiCell is a fixed cell device that
gives dial-tone in the same way that a Telcom Trunk line would work -
except there is no copper to he exchange - just a stubby cellphone
antenna.  In South Africa it is MUCH MUCH cheaper to make a Cell to Cell
call than from Telcom to Cell.... 

I'm surprised that more people do not put down a 'PremiCell' type device
and route all Cell calls out through it...
