Ability to call and to call back to a telephone extension
RuiD:
Eureka !!!!!
I finally found a solution. It's not perfect, because it needs additional hardware and is more expensive, but serves as a temporary solution.
As I said at the beginning, I have two OBi devices (one OBi110 and one OBi100), so, I took RonR’s idea and adapted it as follows:
- As I do not have a real telephone line at home, I connected the LINE Port of the Obi110 to the PHONE Port of the OBI100 to simulate a telephone line.
- I put the following rule in the InboundCallRoute of the Obi110 : {(+351911234567):aa(LI(211234567,,,,,0911234567#))}.
And it's done. I call the Obi110 SP1 service number from my cellular phone (911234567) and disconnect. The AA of OBi110 start’s a callback using the LINE Port to the number “211234567,,,,,0911234567#”. The OBi100 receive that call thru the PHONE Port, and use is SP1 to start a call to the number “211234567”, wait a few seconds, dial “0911234567#” just how I want, and my cellular phone starts to ring.
Anyway, I still hope to see this feature (allowing this type of connection not only through the LINE Port, but also through the SP1 and SP2) implemented in a future release. It makes no sense to have to use two OBi devices in this situation, is to expensive, and I need the OBi100 to install in other site.
Thank you all for your help.

I'm happy to hear that you have a solution. A few other suggestions that may help:
1. If you set up your OBi110 to not answer the LINE port (InboundCallRoute left blank), you should be able to connect the LINE port to the PHONE port of the same OBi (through a splitter, so you can also connect a phone). I believe that this should give you the same functionality that you have now, though I didn't originally recommend it, as it adds latency, and the extra A/D and D/A conversion reduces quality.
2. If the PBXes problem with SP1 was on their side "for security reasons ...", you can usually work around that with a dynamic DNS name. If you still have trouble, post details of the error and the server to which you are trying to connect; I may be able to help.
3. You can troubleshoot the other PBXes problem by calling into the AA (from other than your mobile) and calling out to the speed dial (not as a callback).
4. Though not free, you could have the OBi call back to your mobile directly. Voxbeam Premium route to PT mobile is fairly inexpensive (US $0.052/min., billed by the second, no connect charge, no VAT). You get $1 credit at signup, so you can do quite a bit of testing without making a payment. I've used them for FR and IT mobile and found quality to be excellent (though they may not do as well to PT). They will work in a VGx slot, so you won't "burn" one of the SPx. You may also find them useful for the outbound leg to some destinations. (In general, Voxbeam is more expensive than the Betamax companies, but I've found quality and reliability to be better.)

Depending on the rules you have in the OBi100 SP1 DigitMap, it might be beneficial to use:
{+351911234567:aa(LI(211234567#,,,,,0911234567#))}
in order to start the SP1 outbound call immediately if it doesn't do so already (i.e. eliminate any short timer interdigit delay). If your OBi100 SP1 DigitMap is such that there is no two second delay after 211234567 is received, then the additional # won't help (nor should it hurt).

Thanks for your tips,
I have set up my OBi110 to not answer the LINE port and connect the LINE port to the PHONE port of the same Obi and it works perfectly. It’s a possible option when I move the other Obi to the other site.
The PBXes problem with SP1 was in fact "for security reasons ...", but I don’t have tested yet the work around, because first I need to solve the problem of the drop call.
I tried to troubleshoot the other PBXes problem by calling into the AA from other than my mobile and calling out to the speed dial, but the result is the same as the callback. The call drop in the same second as the connection to the PBX is established.

What is strange is that, in the PBXES the connections are duplicated in this case and, in the case that I start a call directly from the Phone connected to the Obi110 and it works, I do not have duplicated call in the PBX side.
I have add the extra “#” in the number, as suggested, and it seems to be a little faster.
