What would be a typical usage scenario for a Voice Gateway?

This is very easy. For example, I have 1 SP for incoming through voice mail. SP2 GV for outgoing US and Canada. Than I have few Betamax accounts for different international destinations, outgoing only.
The reason to have few Betamax accounts is because each Betamax company has different rates to different countries.
Because I will never receive any calls through Betamax, I can setup each Betamax account as voice gateway.
Then I will create a rule, if destination for example Russia use VG1(Betamax1), if Germany Vg2 (betamax2), etc. Also I can use voice gateway to call Inum providers or Voxalot for peering with other sip networks.
Also with gateway you can call another sip device directly.
I've heard that voice gateway only works for providers that allow unregistered calls. Do those betamax resellers allow unregistered calls. I am particularly interested in Nonoh, which have 120 free days for call China.
Thanks!

As I say, I'm just trying to understand this. So just as a test, I tried this (note this is with the beta firmware):
In Voice Gateway1:
Name: Toll Free
AccessNumber: sp2(tf.callwithus.com)
All other settings in VG1 I left at default. I used sp2 because sp1 is a Google Voice trunk.
Under Physical Interfaces, Phone, in the OutboundCallRoute I added this rule:
{(1800xxxxxxx|1888xxxxxxx|1877xxxxxxx|1866xxxxxxx|1855xxxxxxx|1844xxxxxxx):vg1},
If I call a toll-free number the call does go through and I see this in the call history:
Thanks for the posting. I did exactly the same thing but always got the message "there is no service available to complete your call". What about the credentials of callwithus? Did you put them under VG1?

Deepsea, see my reply in your other thread, but to answer your questions, you don't need credentials to send toll-free calls to tf.callwithus.com (or at least you didn't when I wrote the above post).

How do you when you pick up phone then dial say our wife calls a person for her nurse activities, make it auto dispaly the correct CID? Do you have to dial star codes then the number so it knows to display her nurse CID instead of your home CID?

Here is a scenario which I use:
I have an account with Voip.ms where I have three DIDs. One is my home number for family & friends; one is my wife’s pseudo business. She’s a home health nurse, and one I use for business. Voip.ms allows you to create sub-accounts with their own long on credentials and also allow you to set the outgoing Caller-ID on each account. When we call family and friends our home CID is presented. When my wife calls her patients from our home phone the call goes out her CID. This is important because when patients get her number they call her for every little thing. So instead of they getting our home number (which they have in the past) they get her CID which can be presented with a distinctive ring and /or redirected to voice mail giving instructions to call the home office or 911 if emergency. Similar situation on mine. So being able to select the outgoing gateway allows us to use the home phone for business, but not having to react to incoming business calls.
On Voip.ms sub-accounts you can also track calls & expenses of which we write-0ff every year on our income taxes.

yes. just dialing will use the default trunk. then pressing **2+number uses the other trunk and therefore the corresponding caller id.
