GSM / cellular line
Sattvic:
I am glad somebody already put this in the wish list. In India the termination between IP & PSTN is not legalized yet - except some specific operators. Not open to public yet. This is due to some national security issues.
The problem is most of the GSM Gateways are expensive, in the range of $150 - $200. It is really expensive. It would be useful if an Obi model available with integrated GSM gateway. Even in US it would be useful, we can make it use like a 911 trunk. Please have model with integrated GSM Gateway.
@Shashank
I am already on this mission. I have a Obi110 in India and Obi202 in US. I need to change digit maps/dial plans to route calls appropriately. I plan to buy of of the cheapest GSM Gateway available in ebay - this just works on two frequency range, perfect for India costs about $30. I could bridge Obi110 with a GSM SIM - the calls could be as low as 0.1c/min. Lets see how this is going to go.
I will let you know the outcome.
Sattvic:
I found another use if the GSM Gateway is integrated - I can just pop in an unused SIM and use that for 911 calls. This will avoid routing the calls through a long way through E911 routes. The cell tower will immediately forward the call to local dispatch center.

+1 for the gsm gateway thing.
@sattvic, what is the product you got for 30 bucks ? can you please share the link..
my current setup is that i have airtel landline connected to the obi110 in india and calling is great bothways. in fact, i have given my family the ability to call from anywhere to the airtel phone and AA answers it and then they can call any phone in US (usually me)..
obi202 sounds promising; but i read from other threads that it still not functional. otherwise it will suit my needs as well. ie., it's not primetime for obi202 BT as yet..
