Option 11c & mobiles

[Delster]

Hi all,

a client has a meridian option 11c with a universal trunk card. They are looking to connect up "SIM modules" to allow calls out to go directly via a GSM mobile rather than via landline then to mobile. Based in ireland. Can anyone let me know the manufacturer of a compatable SIM module?

cheers

Hey man
I think here in South Africa we call it Premi Cells or cell routers or lease cost routing. Am I correct in saying you want cell phone calls to go out via the "simm" cards? We use a little device called a cell router - it contains a simm card and then acts like a cell phone. You have to set up a new route and do the necessary spn entries. Hope this helps.
This is quite big in SA - seeing our only Lan line provider is very expensive.

They are called PremiCell in the UK aswell.
At the last job they had Nokia units see HERE ..... works as Riannl says.

Don't know if they have them in Eire, will ask (I'm in D1 !!)

Thanks for the info guys. i've had a look at the install guide for the premicell and it looks like it'll just take a 2 wire analogue link off the UTC, would that be right?

Jip - it works like a charm - if your routes are there and you have done your ld 86 rlb and ld 90 net.

Only moan I had with the three premicells I had, was positioning ............... much like a mobile, bad positioning lent itself to call drop-out, interference etc
Also found that a weekly turn-off [smack] turn-back-on stopped them from "taking" the route but actually doing naff all !!!
HTH

Handy Hint #2 : if you have MMail & PCells check that the access is denied in MMail Dialthru ... I had the case where 9 was disallowed in Mmail (Normal external access) but 4 wasn't .... [insert name of company here] installed PC's with 4 as access and didn't add it to permissions tree in MMAil ...... end result Dail-Thru Fraud (using a toll free so we hit x2 !!!!!!!)
