2N EasyGate IP - GSM Lift emergency telephones line - Low line rental - £9.98 per month2N 4G EasyGate IP - Emergency Lift Phone Line With the introduction of fixed Digital lines only being installed from the 5th of September you can no longer have a copper line. Most block Management companies and residents' associations are not prepared or do not have the funds to replace a Lift autodialler. So we have a GSM telephone line replacmant gateway service, specifically designed for the use with existing lift units, called Easygate IP. And can normaly can be shipped normally within 48/72 working hours. And directly to your lift maintenance provider if you so wish, all without the need for Openreach to install any infrastructure.
Once you have received the Eastgate IP unit your lift manatiance provider will just need to connect this to the lift autodialler fly lead via a lead provided. We would still recommend you check with your lift provider first that the current lift unit is digital compatible.
2N EasyGate IP Network Lift Emergency Telephone line
The 2N EasyGate Lift unit offers a simple Plug & Play setup. Just connect the unit to a power source and use the provided lead to link your lift autodialer to the device—no complicated installation required.
For telephone service, you can choose between a VoIP service, a SIM card service, or a combination of both for added flexibility. The EasyGate Lift operates on all four major UK mobile networks: Vodafone, O2, EE, and Three, ensuring strong coverage in most locations. However, for optimal signal strength, we recommend placing the unit as high as possible—ideally not on the lift car itself.
Before shipping, every EasyGate IP unit, VoiP and SIM card undergoes thorough testing, so it's ready to use upon arrival. To enhance security, call barring is automatically applied to prevent calls to international numbers, premium-rate services, personal numbers, and UK special service numbers starting with 084 and 087. If needed, you can opt-in to block calls to mobile numbers as well. However, premium-rate number barring cannot be removed.
Backup operation using battery powerThe 2N EasyGate IP works if there is a power cut. The backup battery can keep the gateway working. Users in the lift can always call for help and you will be in compliance with the legal standards.
Easygate - SIM and VoIP Lift call plansNo Openreach Infrastructure needed - Our new lift emergency line service uses a GSM and/or VoIP.

The SIM is a permanent roaming sim which means there are multiple networks available for selection by the router, which will select the one with the best signal strength. You may be told "We use special SIM cards ideally suited to the lift shaft and its operating environment." A SIM is a SIM, don't be fooled in thinking it's anything more. Lift providers say this to make you think you have to go with the Lift maintenance providers system, which are often costly and with a long contract. The division of duty for Digital lift lines The division of duty is clear Under Ofcom regulations.
- The lift alarm hardware and maintenance falls to the lift company.
- While the router and battery backup are the responsibility of the lift owner.
- The lift owner must check that the lift equipment is Digital Line compatible for the use with Digital Voice lines
- The battery backup should be tested every 3/6 months
To clarify this Under Ofcom regulations - The router and battery backup maintenance falls to the lift owner, not the underline digital line provider. It's the lift owner's responsibility to ensure the battery backup is tested on a regular basis. If a fault is raised against the service it is the responsibility of the lift owner to make sure the router and/or the battery backup are both online, and rebooted before requesting assistance. There is very littel to go wrong, and routers are extremely reliable. However, the battery backup batteries will need to be replaced every 18/24 months. Please see our UPS backup solution towards the bottom of this page. The 1PHONE service is a copper Lift phone line replacement service. So Outbound SMS and Text messaging barring is placed on all SIM card networks. Inbound SMS and Text are NOT barred. The outbound SMS and Text messaging cannot be lifted. To safeguard against the SIM being stolen, we place call barring on calling international, Adult & Premium Calls, Chat & Premium Calls, Mpay, as all MMS messages, All Incoming/Outgoing Roaming, Adult Premium, GPRS, 4/3G Services are also barred. If SMS and data are needed then please look at our singel network SIM cards. I cant set up a Direct Debit, how can I pay? We only accept Direct Debit for monthly service payments.

We will then send an email to the point of contact or end user to let them know we cannot see the unit online, or it has not checked in for over 4 hours.

What if I think I have a fault There is very littel to go wrong, and routers are extremely reliable. It's extremely unlikely all four mobile networks would go down at the same time, and SIM cards don't just go wrong by themselves. If you suspect you have a problem the first thing would be to reboot the router, and check the battery backup is switched on before contacting our support desk. This is NOT an Openreach service, thus no engineer can be sent, and even if they could, there is nothing to check other than if the router is online. Almost 99% of problems are related to the power being removed from the router by a third party, or the connection between the router and the lift unit has been disconnected by mistake, we also have had the lift unit going faulty as well. Please just make sure you have read our "The division of duty for Digital lift lines" information. Do I need to contact the current line provider? No, you won't need to contact the current provider if you are looking to keep your current lift telephone number - we'll do that for you. However, please make sure you are outside of any contract. Bearing in mind BT Retail normally places a lift line into a 24-month contract. How long will it take to switch over my lift line telephone number? Switching your current telephone service usually takes about 10/14 days, depending on the service you have selected. However, we would normally send the 1PHONE router out well before this time. Once the telephone number has moved over the service will become live automatically, and we will inform you this has completed. How long will it take to send the router to site? The 1PHONE router is normally sent within 48/72 working hours of us receiving your order and the direct debit being set up. If you have opted for a new number the service will be live within a few hours of you telling us you have received the router. This will be longer for number transfer. If you have requested the router be delivered to a residential address, we will need to run further ID checks before the router is sent. And further information may be asked for before this can be completed. The router will need to be installed by your lift maintenance provider, as they will need to connect and test the services before signing off. How long will it take to hand over a site to a new owner? The service contract is non-transferable and non-assignable Agreement. If you notify us to terminate your agreement and /or that you have handed over the management of the site/address and are no longer responsible for the line rental payments the service/s will be disconnected with immediate effect. Should the new owners wish to take over the service they must contact us at least 14 days before you give note to terminate the contract with us. Giving us time to complete the necessary checks before for we agree to provide a service. What payment methods do you except? We only accept Direct Debit for monthly service payments, or line rental can be paid yearly in advance, however this is non-refundable. So something to consider if you are looking to hand the site over within this period. Our Direct Debits are collected on or around the 15th of the month, and are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority as an Authorized Payment Institution. Your payments are protected by the Direct Debit guarantee. Direct Debits are set up directly via our website or by email. No more filling out paper mandates and posting them back. Services and paying via Direct Debit are subject to status and or a soft credit check if a business or a hard credit check if payment is being made by an individual private person. I cant set up a Direct Debit, how can I pay? If you are unable to set up a direct debit for the service you can Pay 12 months advance, however this is a non-refundable payment. So something to consider if you are looking to hand the site over within this period. We bill one clear calendar month in advance. So your fist yearly invoice will be for 13 months. The service contract is a non-transferable and non-assignable Agreement. If you notify us that you have handed over the management of the site/address and are no longer responsible for the line rental/call payments the service/s the new owner will need to apply for a new service contract as this is regarded as a termination of the original contract and service. We require a monthly Invoice to be uploaded through our suppler portal. Can you do this? Unfortunately, not. We have thousands of customers, and the resources needed for us to upload invoices through/into third party invoicing management portals is impractical and time consuming. If this is a requirement, then we are not the right company for you. Understanding Multi-Network SIM switching A Multi-Network SIM will switch networks should the default network be unavailable. This means it will only switch should there be a loss of service or poor signal strength, and NOT a network fault, as the network itself would still be online and available for connection for the SIM. Multi-Network SIM cards cannot detect in network faults or problems.
