If you are after something budget type we got a 32 SIM with only 8 active sims at anyone time so you can use each sim in term and effectively use up all the free miuntes, If you are interested please visit cyber-telecom.net -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Julian Lyndon-Smith Sent: Wednesday, October 01, 2008 7:54 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: [asterisk-users] GSM / 3g channel bank More than 60% of our outbound calls are now to mobiles, so the time has come to whack in a gsm channel bank.

If so you are NOT allowed to run a GSM gateway. If it's purely your own traffic i.e. say company PBX to mobile traffic then it is allowed. Ofcom ruled on this a while back. Saying that I've used a Portech GSM gateway on SIP and it works well.

(a 2-port GSM one) It's not perfect, but seems to work OK for outgoing calls which are "LCR'd" to the unit. (Easy in the UK as all mobile phone numbers start _07Z.) ISTR having to set some weird flags inside it to return CHANUNAVAIL rather then busy when both ports were in-use, so I could then try the default outbound channel when both ports were in-use.

Portech has an excellent line of SIP-CDMA/GSM gateway products. We use their MV-378 for GSM and MV-372 for CDMA. We also have deployed them to quite a number of our customers with no issues.
