Thanks for your reply. I think i have read enough. From your
experience, it seems to be a company to avoid. Pity as they have some
intersting products, but not anymore :)
Anyway, if anyone knows about cheap (but that work!) GSM gateways,
please inform me. My local 2n VoiceBlue distributor gave me a
prohibitive price and Eurotech Communication is out of the EU (Israel),
and that, kind of sucks on terms of final cost.
There is also this dual/quad GSM card,

but no details about it.

Santos and others,
For what it's worth, don't do business with them. I was also thrilled
by their GSM gateway and it's cost and ordered one. Not talking about
they charged double price for the sample, it appeared a poorly
designed GSM adapter that you sometimes see in rural areas for the pay
phone setups.
Basically it's a single FXS to GSM kind of box where you connect
regular analog phone and put a gsm sim card(with no pin number set)
into its slot. No ethernet ports nothing. Came with gsm antena, power
adapter and has a backup battery inside for when you lose power.
There was no documentation included, I later received a poorly written
english translation in .doc format.
Was supposed to work out of box, but the unit I received was dead
brick imho as it didn't accept any sim card from any of local gsm
providers, it was just the same dead silence with no or a sim card
inserted. ICSTELL refused to replace or refund the sample and then
stopped replying to my emails to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm using it as a
door brick now.
The "support" was barely speaking(and understanding) English and while
they have their bank account in France, this is Chinese manufacturer.
If you wish I can send you my correspondence with them off-list.
HTH,
Vahan
