I don't, currently, have a Fritzbox so if there are any issues with a
Fritzbox/Voxalot tie up I can't comment.
There should be no problem in using unregistered , outgoing only,
providers providing those providers don't need to be registered. For
example some Australian providers state that they must be registered.
I assume that you have a dial plan on Voxalot. Have you tested all
number types, as you would dial them, or as they would be presented by
the Fritzbox, as appropriate, in the test box on the 'Providers'
page? Some people think that this will call a phone, it doesn't, it is
just to test out your dial plan. So, if you have not done this, try
out some typical numbers as you would dial them and see if they check
out OK. The result will be shown on the page after you have clicked on
'Test'. Sometimes there is a dial plan fault or a conflict between the
dial plan on the ATA and the dial plan on Voxalot. The order in which
the plan rules are placed, on Voxalot, can be important. Further, if
you do get a conflict it can sometimes be solved by setting the ATA
to insert characters, at the beginning of a dialled number type, then
stripping those characters off in the Voxalot dial plan.
As a further check, you could set up a speed dial on Voxalot and
choose a specific provider to route that call. Don't forget to allow
for speed dials in your Fritzbox plan (i.e. **xx for two digit speed
dials). If that works then change the route from the specific provider
to 'Dial Plan' and see if it still works. That way you can check out a
specific provider and your dial plan separately.
I hope this helps.
