Cellular Gateways

Hello! Welcome to our first edition of the Tele–Solutions Newsletter. This letter is to highlight upcoming changes in technology to better inform our customers to save money or improve their operation.

I was having lunch with one of my customers last week and we were talking about the fact that the monthly phone bill was one of the highest recurring costs for any business. As we continued to talk I asked him how many cell phones he had in his company.

It turned out that he had a fair number of users on his cell plan. My next question was how many calls did he think they made out to the cell phones and back to the office from those users?

Although he couldn't tell me for sure he thought it was a pretty high number.

I was happy to tell him that I had a device that would save him being billed for any of those calls – a Cellular Gateway.

A Cellular Gateway is a device that takes a cellular SIM card or cell phone and converts it for use with your in–house telephone system.

I think you probably already see the benefit...free mobile to mobile calls.

That means we can program the internal phones system to always use the Gateway when calling out to cell phone users and we can program the Gateway to accept calls in from the same cell users so they can dial an internal extension.

By using the free mobile to mobile call feature from the Cell Carrier you avoid ALL the cost involved with calling your workers out in the field.

Sounds good huh?

This is great for companies with remote field technicians or Salespeople.

Let's take it one step further...how about adding VoIP to this.

Some Gateways will allow you to connect the cellular SIM to a VoIP SIP trunk and gain the advantage of lower cost VoIP calling.

Think about it...your cellular users would call the Gateway and then be able to make calls OUT of your office on the VoIP trunk.

See the value? Instead of chewing up minutes on the cell plan they are in effect making another free mobile to mobile call! Now that's some savings.

This technology is only going to get more popular as time goes on as more workers use their cell phones for day to day business calls.

Keep in mind that I am always available to talk to you about how you might implement this in your business. If you're in New Jersey we can even set up an appointment to meet face to face and talk about all the details of setting up this extremely cost effective solution to high telephone bills.

My suggestion...call us here at Tele–Solutions and we'll point you in the right direction.

Talk to you soon!
