AW: [Asterisk-Users] Can Asterisk do the following for me ?

[Manuel Schroeder]

Why don't you use Vonage (what ever that might be :) to forward to a
free account at a sip or iax phone provider somewhere in the world, make
your European asterisk register with that account and dial out locally?
:)

Of course this and much furtehr similar works! :)
