How to forum: How to use a cell phone to dial out from an analog device

Thank you for your reply.
I am just a layman so excuse the question.
Do you know the technology behind why this wouldn't work?
Thank you in advance.

First off it doesn't have the circuitry to connect to a plain old telephone line. So we're stopped right there. Is there more to your story why you want to do this or is this the old why can't it be done question that you can ask of anyone?

If you need more answers to this, try it at the usual cell phone stores. If it was possible they would sell it to you.

I know of that link 2 cell system, but your question is not about that. As an electronics designer I'm sure that we can design something that will fix the issue but my bet is that cost is an issue. That is, a new design seems to run nearly a million. It may be time to replace that device?

HI Bob,
Thanks for your reply. I am asking for a reason and not just "why?"
The device I have does have the capability to connect to a standard phone line and still work.
The service that it is registered with is paid for for a long period of time and I can not get a refund.
So, I would like to still use it if possible.

I did find a piece of equipment that will allow the device to dial out on a cell phone.
It is Xtreme Technologies Xlink BT Bluetooth Gateway
But I think even thought the device dials out on the cell it must be missing something more.
I am just a lay person, but I am thinking that because the device is analog and the cell is digital there is a missing piece.

I found a device called the WireX by e-device but I don't know if it really exists.

You are correct that funds are a concern and yes I am considering the possibility of replacing the device.
I am just trying to investigate all options before loosing the contract money that I have already invested.
Thanks again.

There are devices like the dock and talk.

Sorry but this is not what I can guess you are after given the top post. Sometimes we have to have a discussion to see if we can figure it out.
