Yes I was trying to use the equivalent on a Fritzbox (Auth ID is called
Internet Number). Selected "use internet number for registration", and
tried to call my mobile - didn't work. However, it did work when I called
my voip.co.uk number. I think it may work on calls to landline numbers but
not to mobiles. I haven't got a BT/cable landline to check my theory.
