Simply because it allows you then to use SER to terminate to them, and they then handoff the traffic, also you only need to open an account at one place, and billing is easier....Having said that I dont use them, I merely tested with them. Having said that it all depends on your setup, and exactly what it is you are trying to do, if you are happy with one endpoint, do it that way, tie up tightly with them, you see each gateway will have its own quirks, or have your own gateways, it depends on how flexibile you wish to be.

Hi Iqbal Sir
Can you tell us how reliable are IPCB? as you have recomended them, further they dont terminate calls, you need to buy mins from someone else. They only have the hosted switch. then why we should use SER with IPCB??
Thanks & Regards Ritesh Jalan

Hi
A few people here were looking to terminate traffic using SER and looking for pstn end gateways, well if you sign up with ipcb.net (and no I am not connected to them..but hoping if they read this, i will get a pizza out of this :-)) you can connect SER to any of the gateways you wish worldwide.
How they do it is simple, they have written a module which you compile into ser, load as normal, it has a user/pass in it, and u assign there IP address as trusted in ur config. Then when any requests are sent, the auth you using that user/pass, and let traffic flow. Works fine.
Now I was wondering if some of the programmers on this list could take a look at the module (they will email it to you) surely it would be easy to do the same for any gateway out there....I guess
Anyhow now all SER people can get their own gateways.
