  • Hi Chris,

    This would require either an external (or possible internal) GSM/SIM Voip Gateway.

    Google: “VOIP Gateway GSM Converter SIP IP Phone Adapter” or similar for options. I see some for around $60 US

    Basically, you’ll want to send SIP invite(s), and other commands to and from this device (probably on it’s local address, for security, and it acts just as any SIP provider would.

    Thanks,

  • Hi Chris

    Yes, it is possible! 🙂

    A cheap solution is using a 3G-UBS-dongle.

    I have two SIM cards working in my Asterisk. I’m using two 3G-dongles
    (one for each SIM), a Huawei E173 (firmware 11.126.85.00.209) and a Huawei E180 (firmware 11.126.10.01.68).

    Google for “asterisk chan dongle” and you will find plenty of infos.

  • Yes its possible mine im using 2pcs of Huwawie 173 USB dongle (one for each ISP provider) and connected to raspberry-pi. I can call out and recived call with IVR to forward to the extensio numbers.
