Adding a GSM Gateway to your PABX Phone System can cut your phone bill by over 60%

What is a GSM Gateway?
A GSM Gateway is essentially a mobile phone device that connects to a PABX phone system and allows you to make calls from your Phone System using a mobile network.

By putting a Unlimited or Capped Call Plan SIM card into the GSM gateway and programming the PABX to direct outbound calls via the Gateway, $1000s can be saved.

Calls to mobile phones are usually the most expensive component of your landline phone bill. With high call rates along with expensive flag falls, it doesn't take long to run up massive phone bills. You will also know that when it comes to calling out to a mobile phone, many mobile carriers have much better deals than the fixed wire carriers.

Heres an examples how GSM Gateway can cut your phone bill.
Metro Hotel A with 50 rooms currently has a corporate plan on their landlines with one of Australia’s Biggest Telcos. With 6 dedicated voice lines, they spend around $1000 a month on phone calls to landlines and mobiles within Australia. They add in a 4 port GSM gateway and add in 4 Telaustralia Unlimited Call Plan SIM Cards for $119 per month each. All calls to Landlines and Mobiles within Australia are unlimited and untimed on these plans so their bill for calls to mobiles & landlines will come to $476 per month... a total saving of $6000 per annum or around 50%. As there are now 4 dedicated GSM Gateway lines for outbound calls, they have also been able to reduce their total number of landlines by 3 saving another $100 per month on Line Rental charges.

What do I need to use a GSM Gateway?
You need to have a programmable PABX phone system with at least one free analogue port. You then need to have an active SIM card on the desired mobile phone plan. Your PABX Maintainer will install the Gateway for you and program your PABX system so that you can nominate which lines will route via the GSM Gateway.

Is this cheaper than VoIP?
In most cases, using a GSM gateway will be cheaper than VoIP unless you need to make a lot of International calls.

The real advantage of using a GSM gateway is simplicity. Once installed and programmed there are no other ongoing support costs, call quality issues or technical support required. Imaging connecting a Mobile Phone, and then leaving it on a shelf in your office. That’s what connecting a GSM gateway is comparable to doing.
