What is VOIP Gateway?
Call by-passers utilize VoIP GSM Gateway to divert international rings from the official gateway. The call is then transmitted to the telecom subscribers through a GSM SIM card. The ISD at that time displays a personal caller ID on the receiver’s gadget. VoIP has always been a problem for telecom service providers in the country. As stated by the Telecommunications Act, 2053, any person convicted of posing threat to telecommunications systems and service can face a fine equal to the principal amount of loss caused or sentence up to 5 years in prison or both.
VoIP utilizes broadband Internet for routing phone calls, unlike conventional switching and fibre-optic alternatives.
