There are a couple of more effective (although not as interesting)

1) embedded GSM modules are much cheaper than phones. usable almost
everywhere on the world. connect power + serial port and play.

Those sound interesting - I did a Google search and turned up several
of them on web sites in Germany - nothing much in the USA - and no
indication of prices.

However, they claim to produce up to 14Kbaud data rates and they
have a nice simple serial port interface.

Definitely the kind of thing you could use to hook up a RCX to a PC
if they are cheap enough.
