What is a GSM Gateway?

A GSM Gateway is basically a mobile phone appliance that can be attached to a PABX phone system enabling calls to be made from your Phone System using a mobile network. If you then put an unlimited or Capped Call Plan SIM card into the GSM gateway and also programming the PABX to direct outbound calls via the Gateway a lot of money can be saved. Anyone can from their landline phone bill see that calls made to a mobile numbers are the most expensive. Many calls are in fact made to mobile numbers and it is easy to end up with a big telephone bill in the end of the month.

Metro Hotel A currently offers 50 rooms to visitors and has a corporate plan on their landlines with one of Australia’s Biggest Telco’s. Facilitating 6 dedicated voice lines, their average monthly cost was around $1000 from phoning 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. Using these plans means that any call made to a landline or a mobile phone within Australia has unlimited talking time and there are no restrictions on when the calls can be made. The bill is $476 per month saving the hotel $6000 yearly, approximately 50%. With now being 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.
