Frequently Asked Questions

How does a GSM gateway work?

This technically proven solution changes the telephone call from a "land to mobile" to a "mobile to mobile" call, using x-network inclusive minutes. Sufficient SIM cards are installed to enable simultaneous outbound calls.

Are there any hidden costs?

No. All installation and maintenance costs are incorporated within the monthly service fee. The total cost of calling is clearly demonstrated on a cost analysis from L2MC.

Will the voice quality be as good as before?

Yes it will. Any installation is subject to a mobile signal strength and compatibility study. The CMA states that the technology behind GSM gateways has evolved considerably, to the point where calls routed over a GSM gateway are almost indistinguishable from those made over the PSTN.

What happens to the other calls and will this invalidate my contract with my current voice provider?

This will not invalidate your contract. As there is normally no minimum call-spend with voice providers and you are simply reducing the amount of calls via their service, no contract is breached. All non-mobile calls can route via the existing carrier programmed into your routing table, thus maximising overall savings.

What about my local and national calls?

L2MC can carry these calls at highly attractive rates, as low as 1p per minute for UK local and national calls, using tier-one carriers and CPS (carrier pre-select), via V Networks http://www.vnetworks.com/calls_lines.aspx

L2MC would route the F2M (fixed to mobile) calls over a GSM gateway, which usually accounts for over half of the total spend. Even though landline to mobile accounts for half the call costs on most invoices, these calls are the least profitable to the carriers, because they have to pay most of this amount back to the four main mobile companies in egress charges. As L2MC eliminate egress charges by routing landline to mobile calls using a GSM gateway, we are able to give much better rates on the other landline calls.
