GSM / cellular line
Jorge:
It would be great to have an Obi device which includes a SIM card to have a GSM cellular line.
It'd be specially useful in countries like mine (Ecuador) where calling from mobile to mobile or landline to landline is really cheap (or free if using included minutes) but mobile to landline and landline to mobile can be costly.
For example, I'd like to be able to call from my mobile to my Obi's AA (using my included minutes) and have my call forwarded to a local landline (using minutes included in my home phone). All this without loosing other great features already provided by Obi110.
Stewart:
Though more expensive than an OBi (in some cases much more), there are a variety of devices that address this issue and could be connected to your OBi.
You can find GSM-to-VoIP gateways http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/VOIP+GSM+Gateways (for single channel, PORTech is popular), GSM-to-FXS (that you'd connect to the Line port of the OBi; they usually have an FXO pass through that permits a landline to also be connected), and Bluetooth-to-FXS (that you'd use together with an old cell phone, left connected to its charger).
You may find a used device at a good price that meets your needs.

Even i have the same query. Looking to use Obi110 along with a GSM gateway rather than PSTN line.
@Stewart, can you please suggest a cheap Bluetooth to FXS device which can i be used with Obi110....
Or a GSM Gateway with FXS within $100?
Searched a lotto but couldn't find any :(
Cheers

If the remote location is usually unattended, beware that with any of the three-piece solutions, you will probably be unable to reboot the cell phone remotely.
In what country would this be installed? Approximate estimated usage? (You may be able to find a DID from there, and/or termination to there, with good quality at reasonable cost.)
Shashank:
@Stewart
It would be installed in India. (But i will be in the United States using OBiON iPhone App) Usage is casual home usage...
This is what exactly i was planning on:
Insert my local Indian SIM in the GSM Gateway and connect it to Obi110 (Will be in India). Use my iPhone app to connect to the Obi110 and bridge call with GSM SIM whenever i have to make calls anywhere in India....
AND route all the calls to the GSM number to the iPhone App that is installed on my phone.
Another related query, currently a PSTN line to connected and Google Voice is configured with SP1. Is it possible to route all the incoming calls to the PSTN lines to a USA Number THROUGH the SP1 (GVoice)?
Cheers
