Can I suggest the following scheme :

1) Dial to own account via a DID or SIP account access number
2) Wait till call is collected into Voxalot voicemail
3) Dial a preselected passcode number (Eg. xxxxxx)
4) Voicemail responds with a Dialtone
5) Dial outgoing call which will be routed per existing dial plan
6) To end the call and start a new one, dial ***
7) Hang up to terminate session

For security purposes, disable the feature for 15 minutes (or predetermind timeout in case of, for example, 5 failed attempts at entering the passcode.

This will only work if codecs that can reliably transfer DTMF tones are used.

This would be very useful for making long distance calls from an outside number or cell-phone where no charges are involved in accessing the Voxalot account, and no access to a softphone or other SIP device is available.
