Landline call answer on cell phone

Asterisk Asterisk Support

Hello,

I’m new with asterisk. I want to be able to answer my landline call on my cell phone. I have Nokia E52 and E71. How to do this with asterisk? I have ISDN BRI and ordinary analog line. Someone suggest me to buy PCI card with HFC-S chip for ISDN
and Linksys PAP2T for analog line. I guess it’s some sort of call transfer thru SIP, I was looking for a good tutorial but I was not able to find anything. I also have wireless router which I need I guess for this operation. Can someone point me, much appreciated.

To do this is fairly simple. You need a way to connect your land line to the Asterisk computer such as a PCI card or HandyTone 488 or whatever. Then simply have Asterisk answer the incoming land line calls and then dial your cell.

Asterisk should not be set to answer the call. That will result in the caller being charged, even if the outbound leg fails.

That’s true, but in my case that’s what I want, because calls from my landline to my cell are free!
