Back to all articlesGSM Gateway
The GSM Gateway reduces the call costs from fixed landlines to mobiles. The GSM Gateway is an intelligent device that connects to your existing phone system or IT infrastructure (incl VoIP). Users do not notice its presence as they make a call in the usual way.
You save between 30% - 50% as the call is directed to a much cheaper mobile-to-mobile network. The average cost of a call from a fixed line to a mobile is 9p per minute. With a GSM Gateway this cost can be cut to an average of 4p - 5p per minute, which is a very significant saving!
Who uses GSM Gateways?
Most companies! It is estimated that more than 50% of all call spend is due to calling mobiles, yet it is only 20% of total call volume. This number is increasing annually so most companies will see an immediate benefit from a GSM Gateway.
How does the GSM Gateway benefit your business?
Cost: You should see reductions of 30% - 50% off calls to mobiles on your next bill
Continuity: The GSM Gateway can provide business continuity should your usual lines break down. Your office staff will be able to make and receive calls
Messaging: It connects to your email system allowing SMS texts to be sent and recorded from PCs.
How does it work?
The GSM Gateway sits neatly alongside your telephone system. It holds a number of SIM cards. Each time a call is made to a mobile number, it is diverted through the gateway. Therefore, the call is registered as a mobile-to-mobile call rather than a fixed line to mobile call, which is how the company takes advantage of the lower tariff costs for mobile calls.
