you can please share with me how you use this technology? Any

As you have seen from the other responses, there are advantages to
this (and carriers support it) in other parts of the world. In the
USA there isn't much need for such a device since calls to cell phones
and calls to landlines cost the same amount. In other parts of the
world a call to a cell phone is MUCH more expensive that calls to a
landline.
In many parts of Europe if you have a GSM gateway then the cell phones
can become part of your Centrex system.
They have their advantages in the US also. For instance, if you have
your cell phones with a carrier that has free calls to the same network,
then you can drastically reduce bills with a callback system.
