Google is giving me conflicting answers... I want to dial a remote gsm device via my iPhone plugged in to a PC but I'm not seeing anything that looks like it might be a modem when I do lsusb. This is obviously different than just having a data connection to the internet as the remove device isn't connected to the internet - I need to dial it directly. I have a fairly antiquated NextG handset which can function as a mobile 'router'; via a USB cable or WiFi. My understanding is that it is still capable of sending and receiving calls in this situation. Are you sure the iPhone can't dial out while connected to the PC ? In which case I can't see why it would care whether the remote device was; gsm ,3g, NextG or 4G. Even if you are trying to do VOIP over the data channel I would have thought the phone company associated with the service would still hide the complexities of the mobile technology of the remote device from users .......or is there something which I am not understanding ?
