Over the past years, there has been a rapid development of the telecommunications market in Latin America. In particular, the mobile sector is in a state of potential growth and, according to experts, it will be expanding in the near future. Latin America has a well-developed GSM termination market, primarily due to the high level of mobile penetration.
To start your business in Latin America, you need to not only buy gateways and perform gsm gateway configuration correctly, but also choose the right direction. We have prepared for you a list of the most promising routes, in terms of profitability of VoIP GSM termination.

More than a million local inhabitants have migrated to other countries, which implies a constant flow of impressive GSM traffic amount to Ecuador. Originator companies offer about 200K international minutes for termination in the country. When terminating for 600 minutes a day, the profit per day will be about $50 via a single channel.
- Cuba
This route provides the highest rates - $0.35 per minute. However, the mobile penetration rate is not too high. It is only 17%, as of 2015.
