Ok, so I have my wdect phone, sipura ATA configured for fwd, account
with fwd and the echo test is working. Now, how do I call a UK landline
(from NZ)? I'm still searching fwds website, perhaps I have to go with
another provider for this option? The person I'm calling just has a
regular UK landline you see...

Thanks!

FWD won't get you to a regular landline. You'll need to find someone who
will charge you money for termination. There is a huge number of such
suppliers and the prices are pretty competitive.

I've been using gafachi.com which is fine (US$0.02/minute to UK landlines),
and I'm sure others have experiences to share with plenty of other vendors.

Right, I see. Can I use them as well for my intended purpose or is it
only for US customers....?

I'm in Malaysia. I don't think most of them care where you are based as long
as your money's good.

You could get a UK number from www.sipgate.co.uk then you could both call
one another at UK rates. Note though that to get a normal geographic UK
number you need to register from a UK IP address, but you could perhaps
get them to do that for you..?
