Why VMGate is Different from Traditional GSMBox

Stealth by Design

Phones are phones — operators will not see them as a GSMBox. VMGate devices appear as regular smartphones to network operators, providing natural stealth behavior that traditional hardware cannot match.

Mobile by Nature

Phones are mobile by nature. Deploy VMGate devices anywhere — in backpacks, cars, or micro data rooms. Move them between locations as needed. Traditional GSMBox hardware is fixed and immobile.

Flexible Port Management

You can move a single port (or 2-3 ports at a time) with VMGate phones. This flexibility is impossible with traditional GSMBox hardware, which requires moving entire units. Scale and relocate capacity incrementally.

GSM Termination & Android Gateway Pricing

VMGate offers the most cost-effective GSM termination and Android gateway solution available. Our VoIP termination and Android termination services are delivered through software-based GSMBox systems that eliminate the need for expensive hardware. The SIM card termination technology enables Android GSMbox functionality at a fraction of traditional GSM termination costs.

Traditional GSMBox hardware solutions cost $2,000-$5,000 per unit, while VMGate's Android gateway approach provides GSM termination and VoIP termination capabilities for just $99 per device license. This makes Android termination and SIM card termination services accessible to businesses of all sizes, from startups to enterprise operations.
