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..
Cellsockets output POTS, looking much like an FXS, so they can go into 
any loop start PBX circuit.
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
They fit a limited number of phones, though.
