Do you mean an ATA (Analogue Telephone Adaptor) to plug into an existing
router, or a combined device which has a modem, router and phone ports all
in one..?

That's interesting, I've not come across that with a UK provider before.

Yes, you can set up dialling rules on some ATA's like the Sipura range.
Although maybe better to choose a provider that lets you dial numbers
normally..?!
Like Ivor says, many ATA (or ATA-routers) allow setting dialling plans,
that automatically sort out prefix stuff and like. However, try to
search through this group for "Voipcheap". As far as I know, no-one has
succeeded in accessing their service from an ata, but only through
their soft-client.

Yes good point, though my main use would be UK landline, and Netherlands calls,
both of which are free (for the moment) with Voipcheap.

If you're thinking of using an ATA with Voipcheap - don't - they don't
support SIP, use VoIPBuster instead (Their sister company) who do
support SIP.
Yes Sipura ATAs (and probably others) allow dial plans where you can
prefix 0044 and for local calls you can prefix the local area code as
well. Eg for me in Bristol where local numbers begin with 3 or 9 you can
add 0044117 to any number dialled beginning with 3 or 9.

Update to this.
I've just dialled a national number - no longer met with a request for
the country code. Must have been the new update. The contacts' list
still required the country code (presumably so you get it right when
abroad).
