Frequently asked questions

digiGate Call to Control allows authorised users to open an electric gate, barrier or other access point simply by calling a designated telephone number. The system recognises the caller's registered phone number, checks their access permissions and automatically operates the assigned entrance. There's no need to install an app, carry a remote control or enter a PIN.

Up to date pricing available here

digiGate uses a standard telephone number rather than a premium-rate number. The call hangs up immediately without being answered so there is no charge to the caller.
International users often prefer WhatsApp Control to guarantee they incur no fee when roaming.

No. Call to Control uses your phone's standard mobile calling functionality rather than mobile data. This makes it particularly useful in areas where mobile internet coverage is poor or where users prefer not to install an application. The digiGate system itself still requires an active internet connection to process the request but can be installed up to 600 metres away.

Yes. Call to Control integrates with digiGate's access scheduling features, allowing administrators to specify when individual users are permitted to operate an entrance. For example, a contractor could be granted access between 8 am and 5 pm on weekdays, with calls outside those permitted hours automatically rejected.

Yes. digiGate is designed to work alongside existing electric gate controllers, barriers and other electrically operated access equipment. This means you can introduce telephone-based access without replacing your existing gate automation equipment.

Yes. Different telephone numbers can be associated with different entrances, allowing users to call the relevant number for the gate or barrier they wish to operate. This is particularly useful for business parks, industrial estates, car parks and sites with multiple access points.

To add another number, simply request one from the digiGate team.

If the calling telephone number isn't registered or doesn't have the necessary permissions, digiGate will reject the access request without activating the gate. Rejected attempts are recorded within the system's access logs, providing administrators with visibility over unsuccessful calls.

Yes. digiGate records Call to Control activity within its central access log, allowing administrators to review who operated an entrance and when. This provides greater accountability than traditional shared remote controls, particularly across commercial premises with multiple authorised users.

Yes. Authorised administrators can remove or disable a registered user's access directly from the digiGate management console. Changes take effect immediately without needing to visit the site, recover physical remotes or reprogramme equipment at the gate.

Call to Control operates your gate through a standard telephone call, while WhatsApp control allows authorised users to operate an entrance using WhatsApp. Both methods can be managed through digiGate Pro, allowing you to select whichever communication method is most convenient for your site and its users.

International users often prefer WhatsApp to guarantee they will not be charged for a phone call while roaming.

Absolutely. digiGate supports multiple access methods within a single system, including Call to Control, mobile app control, WhatsApp, Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) and virtual PIN codes. This gives administrators the flexibility to provide different access methods to different users without requiring separate gate controllers.

Yes! Just contact us requesting a number at any time and we will assign one to your system. You can then link it to a gate or barrier and begin calling immediately.
Call to Control is charged per number per annum.

Cheap GSM diallers may offer basic call-to-open functionality, but they're often cumbersome to manage, relying on SMS commands to add or remove users. They also depend entirely on mobile signal at the gate, leaving them vulnerable to poor reception, network outages and local mast maintenance.

digiGate takes a smarter approach. Operating over the internet, there's no physical SIM card at the gate to maintain or reliance on local mobile coverage. Administrators can instantly manage users, set access schedules, control multiple entrances and view detailed access logs through one simple web portal.

Plus, digiGate combines Call to Control with App, WhatsApp, ANPR and Virtual PIN access, all within one system.
