Re: Cell Phones and the AccuVote



Modems need a dial tone to function.  Cell phones have no dial tone.  The small black box Motorola has is referred to as an "DTE", Dial Tone Emulator.  All it does is provide a dial tone for the cell phone. 
 
It was compatible with the older Motorola flip phones.  I have been looking for the equivalent Nokia product with no success. 
 
Cell phones that work with lap tops for email have the DTE built into the laptop.  This is what I understand, please correct me if I am wrong.

Mike, in puerto Rico we did use Cell phones with Acuvote succesfully. These were of two types, one was an old bag phone that an adaptor was placed between the handset and the body that had a standard RG-11 connector available. The second was a table top box that could be used with or with out a handset and had a RG-11 jack on the side.  Both units were manufactured by motorola and were available from CelularOne.

If the connection can support a decent voice conversation the Acuvote will work via Cel phone. Also we did not have to dial the phone manually, the Accuvote did that just as if it was connected to the wall jack.

PS:On the new cels they have an adaptor for connecting your laptop to the internet with a RG-11 connector available. This will also do the trick.
