Hello everyone!
Someone told me that there is a device that you insert a cell phone sim card, then on this device it has a regular analog phone jack so I can plug in a regular analog phone, and it receives the dial tone and line from the cell phone sim card in this magical device. Does anyone know the name of this device , and yes I am interested in buying one to try it out, just in case somebody here sells this.
Thanks!
Clueless about telephony, so thanks in advance!

It doesn't use just the SIM card, but I use an XLink Bluetooth Gateway to use my cell phone as a CO line on my Panasonic & Nortel systems at home. Purchased "refurbished" from eBay for approximately $35. Works great and I've been very pleased with it. "Cobra" also makes a similar device.

Yeah. Any of the devices I have heard of use your cell phone and provide a phone jack. Easiest way is with Bluetooth. I can't see what a sim card would do, many phones don't even use them anymore.

I think he wants to get analog dialtone from a SIM card
Well, that's not really accurate for either of those devices. They are actually a fixed cell receiver/transmitter that provides a POTS interface. The SIM card is there to provide an identity.
Thing is I got the impression that the OP is looking to pull the SIM card out of his cell phone and stick it into something that will give him dial tone.

Seems a lot easier to leave the SIM card where it is, and stick the cell phone into the docking device. But who am I to tell someone else where to stick it?

I agree. At most get another cell account and cheap phone just for that. For what the OP wants I can't see any difference between that and one of those devices.
