[asterisk-users] Dial() using full SIP account details

You can define all your remote providers in sip conf:

[Provider1]
type=peer
host=provider1.tld
defaultuser=yourusername
fromuser=yourusername
secret=yourverysecretpassword

[Provider2]
type=peer
host=provider2.tld
defaultuser=yourusername
fromuser=yourusername
secret=yourverysecretpassword

And then use Dial(Sip/Provider1/callednumber)
No registration should be neccessary in this case unless you want to receive 
calls as well. (you will need to change type to friend too in this case...)
