Hi Hans!

You can try with chan_dongle [1]. Whit this you can use USB Modems from 
Huawei to get a full trunk running with your asterisk box.
It's nice to use, can send and receive sms from your company. The 
quality is good and really better than chan_mobile.

Best regards.

Hi Emiliano,

thanks for your reply,
I think i might use it for a different project, I got an huawei-E1820


But at the moment i have to look at something else:

The issue is contacting people not currently in the office.
I've been trying to accomplish secure voice with a softphone through a
vpn-tunnel, but the choosen softphone turns out less reliable then
expected.

While still working on that thread, other option is to equip each laptop
with a _proper_ blue tooth dongle, and use their dumb/smart phone as an
USB-audio device. If they are near their laptop, presence should allow
me to use chan_mobile. (with an additional advantage not having to pay
GSM-providers abroad)

So, main issue is stability, reliability and usability for "end users".

Unless i can use a huawei as a single-channel BTS, i'll have to stick to
use a BT-dongle.
