Hi Jay,

I use them because:

Calls between mobiles on our package are free. Calls from * to mobile
routed via ITSP aren't. If I route them via a GSM gateway then we don't
pay any call charges for calls to any of our mobile people. Instead we
pay about £14 p.c.m. for the extra SIM card, which we save in about 2
days.

Cheers

Pete
