I also have 1 betamax account (voipcheap).
I always thought I could make calls with the same voipcheap account from both voxalot accounts. However account 1 is setup with SPA-3000 and voipcheap calls are made with the GW1 account on the SPA-3000. I recently found out I can only make calls with voipcheap from the second account.
Is the only way to solve this to get a second voipcheap account?
BTW The ultimate solution for me would be able to forward account 1 to account 2 after 20 secs to be able to pick up the call from both places and still be able to call each other.
My incoming line is from budgetphone.nl. It does not allow to register with two accounts which would also solve the issue for me.
Anybody any suggestions?

Rori, I have a similar situation with an IP phone(GXP-2000) in the basement, and an ATA (GS HT-496) feeding the house phone wiring.
One suggestion to deal with this is as follows :
1) Register both your SIP devices to the same Voxalot account
2) Incoming calls will ring on both devices with the first to answer getting the call
3) Either device can now initiate Voipcheap calls, but only one at a time, as long as you are using Voipcheap in an unregistered mode in Voxalot as outgoing VSP only
4) Dial plan, providers etc. are the same for both SIP devices
5) I am assuming that you are working with one internet connection and using a router
6) Use a STUN server (Eg. stun.voxalot.com.au:3478)
7) Use different SIP listening ports (Eg.5060 and 5061) for the 2 devices
8) Now when you call your own Voxalot extension from SIP Device A, Device B will ring, and when picked up a call is established
9) Depending on your internet connection speed especially upload), the arrangement may not be able to sustain good audio quality due to bandwidth requirements. One solution is to force a G729, GSM or iLBC codec for the internal house call.
10) To Force a G729 call - you can use a VSP provider who uses G729 their preferred codec. Also, set up in that provider in Voxalot with G729 only as the Codec.
11) If you find that Voxalot extension to same extension calls create one way audio, going through a second VSP, seems to clear out this issue.
12) Another option is to try calling to the private IP address, if supported by your devices. You have to use fixed IP address on the devices for this to work, and the dialling can be messy unless you can set up a speed dial on the device (I have not tried this).
13) Set up the internal call (if using Voxalot or other VSP) as a Speed dial (Eg. **1).
Hope the above makes sense. Good luck!
