Some of the older cell phones use to expose either a 2-wire or 4-wire interface via a connector on the phone (don't know about transmission
I won't bother with any of that - purchase a Nokia Premicell (or other manufacturers similar item). This device takes a normal GSM SIM card and then presents a normal PSTN line interface - plug that into your normal Asterisk PSTN line card - job done.

I don't have time to go digging for the link, but there is at least one vendor who offers a hardware solution with 24 DS0 GSM cards in a channel bank, which you'd then connect to a T100P card. In other words, it's 24 lines of cell phones in a 2u package, with minimal wiring hassle. Google should show you the way...
