Glad to help. On my S450IP it is mentioned under the R key on the
picture of the handset with all the labels showing what does what.

As in loop disconnect dial?
I can't imagine how you would implement that on a IP phone.

I have two wifi phones that can both work with multiple voip accounts.
My prefered one is made by a Chinese (I think) company called E28. It is
extremely sensitive, so it can be used with fairly weak wifi. I picked
it up for peanuts )about 20 euros) on the French Ebay website, because
the French ISP "Neuf" sold them as a hybrid wifi/GSM phone. Neuf
stopped the service when they were taken over, so the users are stuck
with the handsets. But it is an easy matter to re-install the original
E28 firmware.
Once this is done, you can manually enter several (I don't know what the
max number is, as I only have three) VOIP accounts, but not Skype. Then
anytime you're in range of a wifi hotspot, you select which voip account
or GSM on the calls you dial out.

(a) It's unlikely that there will be any wi-fi on a University
net - too much chance of outside interference.

(b) It IS likely that the network controller will have blocked
access to any other VoIP provider to give their supplier the
upper hand.

Look for "Twin Tact" and "Neuf"

Here is one
http://tinyurl.com/ykjcpo3
Note that this particular one is sim-locked, but when you change the
firmware, this automatically unsimlocks it.
Another one is here

I've put a presentation along with notes on how to flash the firmware
and where to download the files here:

That looks good would I be able to use the phone as a mobile phone
with Orange or Vodafone for example ?
