|That's correct. The accounts behave as if they were all on totally
|separate ATA's, it's just that they can be made to ring the same phone
|socket as another account, also the account used to call out can be set by
|dialling rules. Not quite as sophisticated as a Sipura style dial plan,
|but useful enough.
|
|As I said, it's theoretically possible to forward calls from one line to
|dial out on another, but I believe it is somewhat problematic, I've never
|tried as I have no need for it.

I am actually using my FritzBox to call in Italy from my UK mobile
phone when I'm not home.

I call my VoIP "home" number from my mobile: the FritzBox is set to
recognize my mobile number as the authorized call-through origin,
greets me with a dual-tone confirmation tone and awaits for my input.

Dialling "0" I am routed to the VoIP line of my choice (and in my case
is my Italian VoIP account) and I get the "invite to dial" tone.

All I have to do then is to dial an italian phone number (fixed or
mobile) and I'm calling Italy from my mobile at an unbeatable price!

My call from the mobile to home is in my inclusive minutes price plan,
as is my call on the italian VoIP line.

On top of that, if I simply want to speak with somebody at home,
dialling "1" or "2" instead of "0" I can make a call to the FritzBox
extension of my choice.

Pretty impressive, uh? Oh, and works like a charm. Every time.
