Rating of the best SIM banks for 2024

Modern offices lose a huge amount of money due to colossal spending on conversations both within the company and with clients. Without this, it is currently impossible to develop a business, provide services, and attract customers. Mobile operators provide a certain amount of minutes for other operators, including landline numbers, but this is hardly enough for those whose work is in continuous negotiations. During the day, a person is forced to call from a work phone to mobiles, which leads to significant expenses. GSM gateways are designed to bundle existing communication formats into one device, the cost of which is relatively low.

What it is

A SIM bank is equipment that allows you to connect several SIM cards to the system at the same time. What is their principle of operation? After connecting SIM cards via a GSM gateway, control will be carried out through a preset IP network. The gateways themselves can be located anywhere in the world, and SIM cards will remain at hand. The operator will fix the location of the gateway, not the SIM. Designed for remote control.

Such a device for the majority of ordinary people remains incomprehensible, and therefore unnecessary. GSM gateways are used to convert analog signals into IP telephony or digital signals. In fact, it is a bridge that allows traffic to be transmitted in any direction.

The device makes it possible to connect several SIM cards to one unit. However, the functionality of the bridge is somewhat broader:

1. Temporary replacement of valid SIM cards on pre-installed gateways is allowed. The reasons can be both temporary, based on certain events, and permanent (planned replacements).
2. Cards will be distributed automatically according to temporary rules.
3. Quick installation or replacement of cards, according to the attached step-by-step instructions.
4. Centralized card management, even at home.

Sims can be replaced at any time or swapped. The operating scenario of gateways, which can be designed for 1000 SIM cards, are also programmed separately. Gateways can be docked with each other, which makes it possible to change SIM in different cities and even countries. Thus, the illusion is created that the card is moving.

What is it needed for

The advantages of such equipment are obvious for large firms and large enterprises. For greater convenience, the main advantages are shown below in the form of a comparative table:

What to look for	Description	Benefit
Keep in touch	Installation of a cell parallel to a stationary bridge.	If the person does not answer on the landline phone, the call will be automatically transferred to the mobile. Employees always stay in touch.
Long distance and international calls	It will be necessary to install VOIP-GSM gateways in another country or region. The connection is carried out through an active VPN channel through office PBX.	The cost of such services will be equal to on-net calls.
Remote office equipment	The area must be covered by one of the existing bridges. There may be several reasons for this decision: • the signal level of the operator is not strong enough; • seasonality of the object's use; • irrationality of laying full-fledged wire telephony. The effectiveness of using an external antenna will be questionable. An ordinary telephone line interface is connected.	Irrational laying of telephone cables to remote objects. After installing the device, a mini automatic telephone exchange, a radiotelephone or a conventional device is connected.
Save on phone bills	The signal is being converted from mobile to telephone. The cost will be equal to making a mobile call. Savings are made due to self-installation of SIM cards in cellular bridges, which are characterized by the presence of corporate tariffs. Traffic becomes unlimited, but for a fee. Thus, any calls will go into on-net mode.	A significant reduction in the cost of servicing mobile operators for individuals and companies. Saving on telephony up to 75%.

What are

In the modern market, products from both Aliexpress and designs with the GoIP name are in greatest demand. Popular models are equipped with lots for 32 and 128 SIM cards. Who are they useful to? To all, without exception, offices, service and call centers. Also, special attention must be paid to the declared functions and brands of manufacturers. It is used for centralized management of calls that come from employees and within the network. By tradition, which was established in China, the GoIP has several configurations: DBL and Hybertone. Based on the declared characteristics, both devices are identical, however the software may differ. Also, attention should be paid to the Dinstar brand. The products are equipped with gateways that will allow you to simultaneously work with 64 and 128 cards. However, there are few product reviews.

Thus, it was possible to solve many pressing problems associated with the provision of various types of external communications.

Among the many functions, IP telephony, Wi-Fi access point, FMC gateway and data router deserve special attention. Allows you to establish a full-fledged telephone connection for users (office workers) through the GSM output by means of two SIM cards.

Antrax

In this way, the manufacturer was able to achieve optimal performance and the buyer to achieve rapid expansion. Channels are added as needed during development. The product is of the premium segment, therefore the cost is appropriate. An initial review showed that specialized software was available to prevent the system from locking in by mistake.

However, according to some users, even the declared characteristics are not able to justify the price that the manufacturer wants to get for their product. The device copes with the indicated functions perfectly, however, the same can be said about the cheaper models.

The cost of the set is 98,000 rubles.

• professional software;
• manufacturer's warranty;
• unique interface;
• service maintenance;
• protection against accidental system blocking;
• operational period;
• functional.

• the software is sharpened exclusively for this device (independent replacement is impossible);
• the cost is not justified.

Conclusion

When choosing a SIM-bank, special attention should be paid to the functionality declared by the manufacturer. If there is a need for a simple and, at the same time, productive device, then you should give preference to units that work with several cards. If the ATC is absent in the office for some reason, the buyer is advised to consider purchasing a structure with FXO ports. Thus, a direct connection between telephones and the installation can be made.

For large support services, with a huge number of customers or the need for frequent and lengthy negotiations, expensive and professional systems should be preferred. In such installations, there are several SIM card slots.

They are used for significant savings in negotiations. Correct connection of the unit to the PC will allow replacing the secretary with a similar device. The system can easily record messages, sound a greeting, and monitor not only incoming, but also outgoing calls. For the modern leader, this may be the best option.
