Maybe I didn't see another thread if it does exist, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who's thought of this.
Is there any piece of software that will basically turn my Windows Mobile phone into a pbx/sip server, or else allow one to use my cell phone as the external phone connection? I think it'd be saweet to come home, connect up my phone to my wireless network, and then have sip phones around my house that connect to my PBX server that uses my cell phone for incoming/outgoing calls while its sitting nicely tucked away charging. That way, I could have multiple phones around the house that I can use to answer incoming calls to my cell phone, and to make calls out through my cell phone.
Anyone have any ideas or seen anything? Any reasons why this wouldn't work? I'm a developer(java/vb), so if there arn't many reasons why it can't be done, maybe I'll take it on and see what I can come up with.
I've seen the GE Cell Fusion stuff which is something like what I'm thinking, but I'd rather have some sort of PBX/SIP server that I can customize and configure.
There are mobile PBX systems. Maybe this is synonymous with mini PBX systems.

With all this technology, I was looking for a tool to make my laptop receive calls from my cell phone. Basically turning my laptop into a Bluetooth headset.
I want to see Caller ID pop-up, and then use my laptops built in mic / speakers.
There should be software for Vista out there that will allow a Bluetooth if not a USB connection to allow the laptop to act as the receiving device. I just cant find any software.
Does anyone know of anything?

your title should be a bit more specific in the title. someone might think your talking about cid of device(carrier-id). just a bit of info that will help u get a bit more attention.
if ur laptop has bluetooth i believe with a program and proper profile(handsfree) on the laptop you can do it.
How to forward Caller ID to laptop...like in cars
I figure there must be a program to use for Bluetooth Windows phones. I cant imagine what would be so difficult if cars can take Bluetooth phone connections, why cant laptops?
Then to take it a step further, we could use IP Phones to answer calls while at home. Cell phones would forward via Bluetooth to the PC's and then be answered via IP Phones.
I know there are already Bluetooth Cordless phones, But I dont see any options like IP phones which can serve as an extnesion to the PC / laptop cellular connection.
You can always pair your device up with your laptop and use your laptops speaker/mic to use the phone.
You can always use a VOIP Cordless Phone, plenty of them around.
Really? I also have the HTC Tilt. I was looking for a solution at home to replace my land line. I want to use the Tilt to pass calls to my PC, which will then pass calls to my VOIP phones. I didnt think there was a solution available as of yet.
What software are you using to use your PC as a mic/speaker phone for your cell?
Was out in the bush the other day and thought a cool app would be to enable voip over wifi without needing a centralised server.
Eg basically using the phone like a uhf radio without needing cell coverage?
Is there anything out there?
Could two HD2's setup a wireless network to share data or would a cheap access point be needed?
If not serverless then waybe a hacked linksys running a voip/skype type server?
Just an idea? If anything exists then point me in the direction
I currently get a really cheap contract call deal on my mobile phone calls and would like to use it for making business calls. I currently use SAGE ACT for my customer database, and with my current setup I am able to dial customers on mouse click. SAGE ACT interfaces with the windows dialer software that dials out though a modem connected to my landline and enables me to talk with a headset on the PC. My question is does anyone know how to setup an android phone with windows dialer so I can automatically dial customers from a database and use a headset? I really don’t want to have to manually dial calls from the database on the phone and physically hold the phone? If it is not possible to get this working with an Android phone, does anyone know of any other phones that may enable me to do this?

Hey there, back then i use to pair a blackberry pearl 8100 with my laptop and used it as a bluetooth modem, from there i set up Act to dial through the blackberry modem, i then paired my bluetooth headset with the phone and i was able to make calls directly from Act, i was also hoping i could do this with my hd2 and android installed but so far i haven't found a solution, i tried pdanet which is an app for android that can be used as a bluetooth modem but so far i still cant dial out in act or windows dialer, i think theres some missing drivers but so far i still havent found any drivers that will enable this to work, im hoping someone out there has a solution.
I am curious about the way the android system can communicate text messages with a pc. Using PDAnet, I know that it is possible to receive and send text messages on my windows desktop, while simultaneously surfing the net. Would it be possible to implement a similar system into one of the various wifi tethering apps? Maybe even make phone calls from my pc and send them through my cell line using my laptops wifi? With 4G speeds I can see more people using their cell phones as their daily use routers, and a program like this would make it more convenient to communicate while leave your phone in a central location in the home or office. Just wondering if anyone can shed some insight into this. Thanks!
Objective: To be able to get atleast a shell anytime you want.
Summary: I want to be able to control my phone from anywhere. Mainly, for the case that the phone is stolen, I want to be able to track it through GPS, operate the camera, download my files, wipe the phone, and make it explode (just kidding )
The Problems: The main issue here is to get a connection to the phone. In both WiFi and 3G. In both cases, the phone can be behind a NAT which will not accept any incoming connections so having a server on the phone will not help.
Secondly, you may also be behind a NAT (and also you do not know where you will be), so a reverse ssh or vnc will not work.
You can attempt a punchthrough, but you need a server, and you need your phone's IP address at the server.
I have tried PAW webserver and WebKey but when running on mobile networks, I am again behind some NAT or some ports are blocked, so I cannot get it to work.
I just want some discussion/research/opinions on how to deal with this and how I can have a constant connection with my phone.
So far, I can see the only way is to have a server somewhere, which can either do a punchthrough, or provide the phone with an IP to which a reverse ssh is opened. But the phone will then need to periodically check the webserver.
What do you guys think?
