</div>The only reason we use DISA is to spoof the caller id. The OP also<br>
wanted to save costs, which is also possible (as someone already<br>
confirmed). DISA does save some cost for me too, but it is immaterial.<br>
<br>
The call from the mobile to the asterisk box is free or flat fee due to<br>
calling groups offered by our provider. The outgoing call is charged<br>
at regular fixnet prices, much cheaper than mobile ditto.<br>

</div>OK, I see. I haven't looked at that, but it sounds more complicated<br>
than using DISA, and I'm not convinced it would be any cheaper. (it's<br>
important that the scheme be easy to use from the mobile end).<br>

<br>
</div>Yes, inbound to a mobile is free as long as you're not roaming. However,<br>
with our calling group setup, it doesn't matter who (fix or mobile)<br>
originates the call, the cost is the same.<br>
