I've been looking around for a cheap way to get an analog phone on a Cellphone network.
Basically, I have 4 wireless phones that works via a single base station. I want something where I can plug the phone line into a converter box that have a cellphone sim card.
The phone would primarily be used for receiving calls. Caller ID would be nice.
I saw on https://www.aliexpress.com something that looks like it might work for me.
Wonder if there is a local cheap solution.

Yes, most LTE routers have a jack to plug in a land line

I have the HUAWEI B315s-936

Still searching for a cheap solution... I have limited funds so can't pay thousands just to get the phone working.
I found a second hand Fusion 100 in http://www.junkmail.co.za but its 6xR300. And they guy does not want to break it up. So I have to take all 6. So that is bust.

Bought a Huawei B660 for R200
Does what I want it to do. So I'm sorted.

The "nice to have" part of using the router's WIFI as a 2nd WIFI on the network doesn't work. Might be internal routing within the device that is messes this up. But that is only an assumption. So... WIFI disabled.
It does works as a mini 100mb/s 4port hub though, releasing one of my 1gb/s ports as a spare.
And also allowing me to see the status of the 3g router via the network.
