A few choices spring to mind -

Which SPA have you bought? If it's the SAP1001, that's capable of
having two SIP accounts with one phone connected. Simply sign up to
Sipgate & obtain a free geo number and set that up as your second
account.

If you have bought an SPA2101, similar to the SPA1001, except this is
two lines with TWO phones, so not as ideal.

If you've bought an SPA3102, then this would allow incomming calls on
your PSTN line to be answered on your voip line....and you would simply
dial out on either.

You could research the service that Brain A knows a lot about......what
the hell's it called..."VOX something or other"? You can register your
VoipDiscount account & your Sipgate account on their servers & your ATA
uses "VOX Something or other" as it's service provider. That way you
can have any number of incomming/outgoing providers on a single ATA.
