Has anyone figured out how to enable Bluetooth Trunks, so that a cellphone could be used to provide the phone service (dialtone if you will). Granted a Bluetooth adapter would have to be added, but for emergency services such as Red Cross Shelters this project along with the Bluetooth capabilities wuld be huge!!!
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I've also added this custom trunk as described, but when calling out I only get "your call cannot be completed as dialed". Maybe its only a simple call routing issue. Need to try more on this.

I have now the same situation as you do. I made a small mistake in the routing, but now this works. I can make calls, but the audio is very very lagged. Also I had only one way audio. I tried with 2 different Samsung phones, one of them had no audio at all.
CPU usage was between 30 and 50% for me. Unfortunately this cannot be used like this... :-(

You are right, I would also love to see this work. Maybe it can still work by trying other Bluetooth adapters and phones, maybe there is a working combination. Or the chan_mobile code needs some debugging, but this can be quite time consuming...

Sounds very interesting to me also!
This article is a good start:

If Bluetooth would be integrated into RasPBX, would you volunteer for beta testing?
I already put the bluetooth dongle to my RaspberryPI count with me if you need testers.
Does it work for you? Can you share a bit your experience?
Just finished my first test
Test equipment
Raspberry Pi 256mb
Moderated OC
8gb SDHC Class 10
Generic Buetooth dongle
1 Sip extension (X-Lite 5 Softphone)
Blackberry Curve
CPU usage:
Idle: 5-7%
During a call: 15%
Call quality:
Massive lag, several seconds.
I hope I can do more tests during the weekend.
btw, I found this guide quite helpful.

Thanks for sharing! Unfortunately I have not came that far yet. My mobile seems to pair fine with Asterisk:

For an unknown reason X-Lite adds a "1" to every number you try to dial. Check if your outbound route allow this.

It is a shame, I was hoping this could work on the PI.
