triggering a callback without Obi answering the call

How can I instruct the Obi to use a VG or a trunk *other* than the SP1 and SP2 to dial out the destination number ?
Using OBi Voice Gateways with SIP Providers

I'm absolutely positively shocked/impressed with both the quality of the responses
and the flexibility/power of the device.
thanks much !

So thanks to RonR and Stewart's suggestions I have a well setup configuration
where callbacks are configured to also use VGs. Additionally I have freed up an SP trunk
after the clarification that a lot of voip providers don't require SIP registration.
I have also obtained a free incoming DID from ipkall (I didn't realize that I could
forward an ipkall-obtained DID to my obi without going through another voip provider - thanks RonR
for a posting demonstrating that) (Note: when I dial the DID I got from ipkall from my cell phone
i get a ringback tone and the obi calls back as expected. However when I call the DID ipkall #
from my office phone (corporate phone but with a direct #) I get a busy tone and the Obi also
doesn't show any record of incoming calls. Not sure why this is so).
My next step is to look into Voxbeam. Voxbeam requires a real IP address (not DNS name)
to be used.
Stewart: you mentioned something about a script to do that automatically. Can you please share?
What kind of platform it runs on?
I really don't know how often my public IP address changes. For sure it changes when there
are service/device failures/reboots. I believe that in my case the address doesn't change otherwise.
But Mr. Murphy is sure to hit when I'll be traveling and when I need this to work urgently.
thanks

I posted the Voxbeam update script at http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r26795392-script-for-Voxbeam-on-dynamic-IP-address . You may need to register to download the attachment.
I got another IPKall account and PMed you the number. It points to 883510000000093@sip.inum.net (caller ID test).

Stewart: I downloaded and will install on a new Mac server I'm setting up. Thanks much.
I do have couple of issues and questions for Voxbeam though. I have set up an account with them.
But all calls are rejected. Here is what I have:
SIP server: sbc.voxbeam.com
port: 5060
user: mylogin@gmail.com
password: mypassword
no STUN server is configured.
I dialed trying either the standard or premium access lines (ie 0011101 and 0011103 prefixes).
The Obi reports: Register Failed: 500 Method not allowed (server=95.211.119.251:5060; retry in 25s)
In addition to the above I do have couple more questions:
1. what do I need to do to spoof a caller ID of my choice when using Voxbeam?
enter it in URI? or any other mechanism?
2. I'd like to simplify the dialed digits when using the Voxbeam trunk and to normalize the
dialing to that of other services (this is mostly for my other "customers" in the house that
have little tolerance for new dialing habits). So suppose I want the following:
if I dial on the handset **2 011 nn 1234567890 (nn=country code), the obi
converts it to appropriate # for the voxbeam trunk that will look like:
0011101 nn 1234567890
3. Does Voxbeam require SIP registration or just authentication ?
thanks
