Here's one for the hardened techies!

Conundrum... here's what I have:

- Trixbox (Asterisk + FreePBX)
- Multiple outbound trunks
- SNOM 3xx phones

I'd like to enable the end user to choose which outbound trunk to use
when dialling, pressing one of the wonderfully user configurable buttons
on the right of the phone.

I'd like to avoid to adventure myself into multiple IDs on the phones,
as the Trixbox server is only one.
And please, no fiddling with * dialling plans of whatever.
Is there something nifty I can program into the phone keys to select the
outgoing trunk manually?

Did anybody do that before?

How about 9, 8 and 7 for the respective trunks?

Not without cooperation from the Asterisk server.

Probably.

I actually use 9x to force a call over a particular provider, but send
unprefixed whichever way is cheapest (92 for BT, 98 for VoIPtalk, with a
few other specially reserved codes).
