Guys, what were those boxes called back in the 90's and early 00's that were basically a sim that connected into an analogue port on the avaya and allowed outbound calls to the orange network to route over that sim because it was cheaper than calling from ISDN?

They've evolved, often SIP to GSM interface boxes these days. Very popular in regions like Africa where the mobile network is more comprehensive and reliable than the fixed wiring PSTN or internet.

Fantastic Guys. @amriddle01 premicell was what i was thinking of, well done, a blast from the past!
@Sizbut / @Tommills, actually we have a customer in the UK who may as well be in Africa as they get no PSTN, or ADSL, but good 4G coverage. So was debabting some options.
Thanks guys.

I connected many Premicells back in the day to Norstars, Revelations, Inspirations etc. They did have a tendency to lock up and would need a power reset. I've got a few customers with IPO and premicell, in the uk I use a shortcode of 907 to route to ars with the premicell with a backup route to the pstn if the premicell fails. Seems to work pretty well.

You get as many free minutes and cheap rates on SIP these days, there's not much call for them anymore, except where SIP isn't an option
