Overview
The GSM gateway is a finished product, used for connecting a regular phone or a telephone exchange port to the cellular GSM network. Therefore you can make substantial savings when calling mobile phones, due to the fact that mobile to mobile calls are charged at a much lower rate when compared to landline (PSTN) to mobile (GSM) calls.
With a suitable calling plan, as usually available from the GSM service providers, it is possible to have calls between two or more offices at almost zero costs.
