[Noisebridge-discuss] has anyone used a gsm cellphone module from sparkfun to build a cellphone?

[Michael Shiloh]

true that, and i (probably like most of you) have at least one phone in 
parts in a drawer.

but i want to make the connection myself, place a call, etc.

can't do that with parts of an existing cellphone.
