Actually - er - a-ha - indeed... However the GSM part if it all is sort of unavoidable !!! But I'd rather have a wire going from an asterisk box to a phone device than use an additional wireless connection... I'm not sure I'd get away with installing a box in a customers permises, then plug in a USB/Bluetooth dongle, and then just leave a mobile-phone cable-tied to the rack... At home/lab, sure. It's fun and neat, but not in the office where even a USB cable from the server to the phone might be frowned upon. (The phone would get nicked!)
