HN: Please help me make this (or tell me if it exists)
A small device to plug a phone landline into that also runs Asterisk and accepts SIP/VoIP phone registrations over a WiFi. Couple this with an iPhone VoIP app and iPhone now replaces a home phone.
For an extra bonus allow the SIP app to connect to the home LAN over the Internet (and I am willing to jail break my phone for this).
PS. Don't want a service like MagicJack, but rather a standalone hardware device.
- cstone 16y agoit's not asterisk, but here's an iphone app for magicjack SIP: http://blog.javachap.com/index.php/how-to-make-voip-calls-on-iphone-using-magicjack-connection-and-siphon/ http://blog.javachap.com/index.php/how-to-make-voip-calls-on...
- huhtenberg 16y agoRight, I just remembered about the MagicJack. From what I understand it seems to be a service, rather than a product, isn't it? And it also won't work without an Internet connection. That's an interesting read by the way. Pretty damn good for a "weekend project" :)
- cstone 16y agoit's both. it's a hardware device with an rj-11 (normal modular phone) jack and a basic line simulator that lets you make calls using SIP. there's also a (pretty cheap) service that is billed fairly infrequently. alternatively, you can use asterisk with the magicjack device; quick googling around shows that people have figured out what's necessary to get the two working together. the downside is that it's not wireless, so you need a separate device speaking USB either way..
