[cisco-voip] GSM gateways??

[Matt Slaga (US)]

Yes, you will never see the benefit to cost savings in the US.  Only in
Europe and Carribean (among others) where a fixed connection charge is
incurred fixed to connect you from a land line to a cellular network.

I've noticed in Google that they seem to be more prevalent in Europe--
 
I do need to check with Verizon and ensure that we can legally use one-
our salesperson seems to be terminally confused once the conversation
gets past 
"how many minutes do you need today"   ;-)

I have configured these overseas in areas where toll charges are
incurred between land lines and cellular.
 
Nokia make a product called the premicell

Also, Vierling make some more robust, scalable stuff and have just
announced an IP to GSM product:

..htm?query=

These gateways allow you to input how many minutes per SIM so load
balancing and minute counting can occur.

hi folks-- 

Does anyone out there use any type of cellular gateway to route calls to
the local cell providers such that those calls are then "cell to cell"??

I'm looking to find a device that will take up to 5 simultaneous calls
to certain Nxx and send those to a gateway with 5 cell phones, or
something..

The plan being to get calls made from the school district going to
principals/etc to go out for free by being 'cell to cell' calls.

Hopefully I can then train the principals to call in that way too...
