Hi Folks Is there anyone who has successfully configured a GSM Gateway in Kenya using Safaricom, Airtel and Orange lines with 3CX? 1) What was the experience? 2) Which GSM Gateway model did you use? 3) Are there shops selling GSM Gateways in Kenya and at what cost? Thanks -- Jackson Gathoni

Hi, There were guys who had said they use the above service to ship to Kenya from Amazon. They do not have the option for Kenya in the signups. Any other shipping company you may know of? Salihiya requires that you have a minimum of 25kgs. Your assistance is appreciated. -- Anthony Tai "A good head and a good heart are always a formidable combination."
