It looks like getting a 3G smartphone with SIP + OpenVPN + unlimited Internet plan would solve the issue. Does someone know... 1. how reliable 3G Internet access is in Europe in cities? I can only speak for the UK. In the UK - Three seems to be one of the best providers (in my experience). However, coverage quality varies throughout the country, and I have clients on O2, T-Mobile and Vodafone - with varying results. It is, by its very nature, a connection which will vary continually in bandwidth and reliability with the time and location. 2. what smartphone supports installing an SIP + OpenVPN clients? Looking around, it seems to me that any Android phone should be able to have SIP clients installed. If anybody knows of any manufacturer or operator imposed blocks - I would love to know. One of the more popular SIP clients (www.sipdroid.org) doesn't seem to mention any possible impediments to installing it on any Android phone (1.5 and above) 3. how much juice those things need to keep those applications + 3G connection running for hours each day? Again, at least according to www.sipdroid.org FAQ - it seems that it shouldn't make any extra difference. I suppose it depends on the battery size. They claim a 3 days standby - but don't say which phone did they test it on. They also claim that a stock Asterisk talking to a SIP client on Android is not ideal in terms of battery life for the Android phone - but I really can't think why. If anybody here has some ideas - would be great. One other thing to watch out for is operator imposed contractual restrictions. Many mobile/3G operators expressly forbid running any type of VoIP through their network in the contract (you can still use the phone + SIP over wifi, though). However, I believe that if you run it through OpenVPN - they shouldn't be able to tell. Again, if anybody has any info on this, or knows otherwise - I would love to know. One of the openvpn implementations for Android is TunnelDroid (http://sourceforge.net/projects/tunneldroid/). This one needs the phone to be rooted - so when searching for a phone - make sure it has a (hopefully easy) rooting procedure. I don't know if there is an openvpn implementation for Android which doesn't need the phone to be rooted - but considering you need extra kernel modules (the tun device) I would have thought rooting is essential. Sorry to keep on butting in. I've been interested in SIP on Android for a while now - so this just gave me more incentives to actually do the research :-) Sebastian Thank you. -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

I checked with the VOSP: Apparently, it doesn't support getting an SIP message to forward calls on the fly, and I pay for the forwarded leg of the call (the caller will pay his part). I am, in a way, in a similar situation. I have a POTS/PSTN landline connected to my Asterisk server - and Asterisk calls my mobile when a call comes in down the POTS line and then bridges the calls for me. This is effectively home-brew/DIY call diversion. Instead of asking the phone company to divert the calls when I'm not home, I setup Asterisk to do that for me. The slight advantage in doing it myself is that I use another SIP provider for the outgoing leg of the call - who charges me far less per minute then my landline provider would charge me for their divert feature. They even charge an extra monthly fee for having the divert feature! I take it the above is your option number one - which you are trying to avoid. I'm afraid your option number two doesn't really exist - as far as I know. First of all - as the others have pointed out, the incoming call has dialled a landline number - and expects to pay for a call to a landline number. So any diversion happening would be your responsability to pay for. That is of course if you don't live in USA or Canada - where I believe calls *to* mobiles are similarly charged as calls *to* landlines - and it is the receiving end who gets charged for calls to mobiles. So in general - sending any sort of message to phone provider and asking them, on the fly, to send the call to another number - without you being charged - is most likely impossible - and will stay that way. The closest you will come to this is if you have a call divert with the phone company, and a package which allows free calls to a specific mobile phone (or free mobile minutes). I used to be with a landline provider - who gave me free unlimited calls from my landline to my mobile phone. They didn't realised that this would mean I could have call diverts from my landline to my mobile free as well - as effectively I was being charged as if my house phone would call my mobile! This worked for about two years - until I had to move house, and provider. Anyway - there is a third option - which I have been using with some success. I connected my softphone on my laptop to my Asterisk server at home (through OpenVPN for extra security - but this is not compulsory). Sometime I keep my laptop on when out in the field at clients, with Internet connection running - and pick-up incoming calls on the laptop. This way the divert part of the call is free - as it is coming through the Internet to my laptop. I configured my phone divert (in Asterisk) to ring simultaneously my mobile and my softphone when a call comes down the landline. I answer on whichever one I want. I don't use Followme - I don't like the way it has been implemented (the line gets answered early - not when I answer the mobile or softphone). As a last alternative - a slight improvement on the above. If you can get a smartphone with Android - which would let you run SIP over 3G - you should have true free voice divert. Everything would be as above - the main difference is that the phone (instead of the laptop) would be on and connected all the time - even when moving out and about - which with a laptop is not feasible. This would allow you to answer your calls through the 3G data link - and not be charged per minute. If your mobile phone company will let you do that (run SIP over 3G). This is where an OpenVPN (or any other VPN) connection again would come in handy - they shouldn't be able to tell you are running SIP - if it is inside VPN ;-) I haven't trialled this version yet - but this would be my ultimate call diversion setup. Hope the above helps, Sebastian Thanks guys. -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

-Original Message- From: asterisk-users-boun...@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-boun...@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Gilles Sent: Wednesday, December 29, 2010 5:16 AM To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Subject: [asterisk-users] Log and forward calls to cellphone? Hello I don't have a landine and use a VOSP to provide access to the telephone network. In case a call comes in and I'm not home, I'd like Asterisk to log the call, and then send an SIP message to my VOSP so the call is forwarded to my cellphone and is thus charged to the caller, without Asterisk having to dial out to my cellphone through my VOSP at my expense and bridge the two calls. Is this possible? Thank you. This is how I understand your question: I have a home phone that is not a land line that is serviced by a VOSP and runs Asterisk. I also have a cell phone. Rather that using followme and having my VOSP charge me for two or more calls, I'd like Asterisk to record call 1 and send a SIP message to the VOSP so that the call continues or is re-established without a second/third call being charged to Asterisk and/or my cellphone. My terse answer would be that you need to use the call-forwarding feature from your VOSP so that Asterisk never answers the call when you aren't home. In my experience, Asterisk (and this may be version dependent) isn't so good at doing "ad-hoc" SIP messages. Hopefully somebody will provide an improvement on this answer. -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
