GSM desktop cellular phones offer voice and text-messaging transmissions. They provide dual-band support (either 850/1900 MHz in the Americas or 900/1800 MHz in Asia, Africa, Europe and the Middle East) for calling capabilities needed in rural areas, or in developing metropolitan areas where phone service is simply not available to all residents.

They also feature hands-free operation, three-digit PIN security to allow/block outgoing calls, memory capacity for phone numbers, speed dial, auto re-dial, one-touch emergency dialing, a large back-lit display, 90 minutes of talk-time emergency back-up power, and attractive styling.

The phones draw their power from standard AC electrical outlets, and do not connect to conventional landline telephone systems. They represent a low-cost route for millions of consumers, in regions where traditional copper-wire landline telephone service is not available, to obtain wireless phone service with much broader signal range and better voice quality than what is possible from portable, battery-powered handsets.

Most Desktop phones have all the features and functionality of a wireline telephone – without the wires. The Phonecell® SX4D Desktop Phones for GSM 900 or GSM 1800 are digital wireless telephones that incorporate fixed wireless technology in full-featured touch-tone phones. Rather than connect to a traditional landline, the SX4D Desktop Phones connect wirelessly to existing 900 MHz and 1800 MHz GSM cellular networks. The SX4D Desktop Phone operates just like an ordinary wireline phone. The user picks up the handset, hears a dial tone, enters the phone number on the touch-tone keypad and waits for a connection. There is no SEND key.

The Desktop Phone includes common wireline phone features such as caller ID, call waiting, 3-way calling, redial and voice mail with visible and audible indicators, which can be accessed with a single key. The Phonecell SX4D Desktop Phones for GSM 900 and GSM 1800are the ideal solution for today’s wireless communication needs.
