Hello, We have been able to get Bluetooth enabled cellphones working with Asterisk to make and receive phone calls, but the audio quality is not too good. A better option is to use GSM PCI cards or GSM gateways: http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/GSM . We haven't tested any of these solutions so far, but we don't expect any significant glitches since they are already being used by many people.
Sending and receiving SMS messages can be done through Frontline SMS: http://www.frontlinesms.com/ . It works with a variety of phone models and GSM modems. GRINS, our radio broadcast system at Gram Vaani, currently supports telephony over PSTN landlines and SIP VoIP. We will have SMS and cellular based telephony very soon: http://gramvaani.org/technology/community-radio/ cheers Aadi Kara Andrade wrote: > Is anyone out there doing community radio using cellphones.
