FreeWorld Dialup have recently install some large Asterisk servers. Asterisk supoports a very clever call routing platform called IAX2. To utilise this you must already have a SIP account with FWD and then register to have it converted into IAX2.

Put this in your IAX.conf file replacing FWDNUMBER, PASSWORD and  EXTENwith the relevant details

register => FWDNUMBER:PASSWORD@iax2.fwdnet.net/EXTEN

[iaxfwd]
type=friend
context=default
deny=0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
permit=65.39.205.0/255.255.255.0
host=iax2.fwdnet.net

Put the following in your extensions.conf file replacing PASSWORD with the relevant details

[fwd37720]
; This is my FWD acount
; Calls to other FWD users using this account
; are prefaced with a 71 followed by the FWD#
; Newbie note: ${EXTEN:2} is stipping the first 2 digits from the dialed
; number to strip one, you'd use ${EXTEN:1}
exten => _71.,1,SetCallerID,"Mark Phillips" < 37720 >
exten => _71.,2,Dial(IAX2/37720:PASSWORD@iax2.fwdnet.net/${EXTEN:2},60,r)
exten => _71.,3,Congestion
