Slash corporate call costs and increase your productivity

How to save money with GSM gateways

A GSM gateway is a facility that turns expensive calls from your office to a mobile phone into calls from within the GSM network. Since calls from a fixed line to a mobile phone are generally very expensive, resulting bills are high and costs only ever seem to increase. However, calls from within the GSM network are usually much cheaper - or even free - enabling you to save money.

Our gateway's unique mechanism enables you to choose the cheapest possible way to make the call. For calls to people whose mobile phone number has been included in VPN, the call may even be free of charge.

How to save money with the UMTS gateway (gateway for the UMTS network)

The main benefit of the 2N® EasyGate UMTS gateway is its cost saving effect. Using this gateway enables you to save half of your company's telephone charges, since all calls made to mobile networks are routed through it. Basically, the UMTS gateway - or gateway for the UMTS network - transfers all phone calls from fixed line telephones to mobile telephones through the UMTS network. You save significantly, as calling via the UMTS network is considerably cheaper than calling via a fixed line operator!

Cost- saving features:

1) CallBack - Slash your current roaming prices!

The CallBack feature represents significant savings on calls made from your mobile phone while abroad - allowing you to slash the normally very high roaming prices. You only pay for an incoming call within the roaming mode; always substantially cheaper!

CallBack - Case Study

How can you save even more money with the 2N NetStar CallBack feature?

You are abroad and need to call home cheaply.
From your mobile phone send an SMS message containing the number that you want to call and, for example, the phone number for your hotel room to the CallBack number (the GSM gateway number in the PBX).
CallBack automatically dials your requested number and, at the same time, the number of the hotel room, and connects the two calls.
You pay just for the SMS message. The call cost over VoIP technology in NetStar is even cheaper than the cost for an incoming call when roaming.

2) 2N Mobility Extension - a state-of-the-art feature which helps you significantly reduce the cost of international calls when calling from your mobile

You are out of the office when you realize you have forgotten to call your business partner in Canada. You do not need to worry about how much your GSM operator is going to charge you for making a call to Canada. By simply dialling the number for 2N® Mobility Extension, you only pay for a cheap call within the local GSM network, which may even be free of charge, if you use a VPN SIM card. In other words, the call will be handled in the same way as if you were sitting at your desk in the office. All you have to do is dial your Mobility Extension number followed by the international call number.

Incease productivity with the 2N Mobility Extension

From now on, customers trying to reach you on your fixed-line will be put through to your mobile phone; as incoming calls to your fixed line will be redirected to your mobile after a few rings. This turns your fixed-line into a mobile office - meaning you will be reacheable on either number! You won't miss a call; resulting in far fewer callbacks! And, you will even be able to transfer calls to colleagues in the office, if necessary. This flexibility can only lead to greater productivity!

3) LCR - Least cost router - Efficient automatic cost-saving through automatic choice of the cheapest call route

This powerful feature will always select the least expensive route for each outgoing call you make (depending on prefix of GSM provider, remaining free minutes on SIM cards, cost- effectiveness of tariff, time of day, etc.) All our GSM/UMTS gateways are equipped with this ultimate cost saving tool! So relax; our gateways will work for you...automatically!

4) FREE Calls between branches

Using VoIP (Voice over IP), it is now possible to interconnect PBXs in remote corporate branches; allowing your employees to contact each other from within your network (between different offices) absolutely free of charge. Other calls (calls outside of your network) will be charged at an extremely low rate, due to VoIP technology.

For example, PBXs from the 2N Omega Series are intended for customers looking for a complex and efficient communication solution that is always designed to each customer's specific requirements. In addition to the previously mentioned benefits, this solution has the added feature of allowing free calls between individual remote offices.

The 2N Omega Series is the only PBX system on the market that integrates GSM gateways; offering you the highest comfort while making GSM calls and receiving calls from mobile telephones from within the company; allowing you to save up to 40 % of your telecommunication costs.
