Dear Marcus, Thank you for your suggestion.
I was thinking of using a headset that is connected to the computer to hear and speak.

And from your speech output device (aka mouth) to the GSM device? The way I'd try is: network connectivity via GSM modem, run VoIP/SIP over that. Have yourself connected to the phone world by some Provider.
