WHAT IS A GSM GATEWAY?
(Also called a Premicell or Fixed Cellular Terminal - FCT)
A GSM Gateway is a hardware device which contains
SIM cards and allows a Land based call to be routed to a Mobile
phone in the most cost effective way by cutting out the connection
charge imposed by the company that supplies your Land to Mobile
service.
Calls made to mobile phones from Land based fixed
lines supplied by BT, NTL, Telewest and MCI generally cost between
10 and 20p depending on the time of day and the network being called
i.e. Orange, Vodaphone, O2, T-Mobile, 3, Virgin, Tesco. See examples
of land line
to mobile costs.
By Connecting a GSM Gateway to your Telephone Switch
and routing the outbound call to the Network that the mobile phone
is using reduces the cost of the call being made to 6.5p per minute
compared with an average cost of 12p.
WHY SHOULD I CONSIDER
DEPLOYING A GSM GATEWAY?
If your company offers customer support or your employees
are always travelling or you telephone canvass New prospects, you
will know that the quickest route of contact is generally by calling
a mobile phone number or sending a Text Message.
Telephone costs are becoming more and more expensive
and companies are becoming increasingly aware that their monthly
or quarterly telephone bills are predominantly made up of landline
to mobile calls and a lot of calls are not business related. It
is often the case that a mobile phone number is the preferred method
of contacting someone - as it is usually the number that can be
best relied upon to make contact quickly.
WHAT EFFECT DOES
IT HAVE ON MY CURRENT LAND BASED OR MOBILE PHONE CONTRACT?
Installing a GSM gateway alongside your existing Telephone
PBX (Switch) has no effect on the Switch. When a call is made that
has a Mobile prefix (07) the gateway detects the number being dialled
is a mobile number and automatically routes it through a Sim card
in the Gateway. Normal Land Line to Land Line calls pass straight
through the Gateway and onto the fixed line network as normal.
