[Freeswitch-users] Which GSM gateway to buy?

[jay binks]

Ive used these in the past.
http://www.2n.cz/products/gsm_gateways/voip_gsm_gateway/voiceblue_enterprise_voip_gsm_gateway.html

sound fine, work well...
reliable etc etc..

things to watch out for...  :

*  cant send your own caller ID from them ( in my experience its locked to
the sim )
*  your provider might block the IMEI number of the GSM terminal, if they
dont like what your doing.

just some stuff to consider.
