It shouldn't be insecure. It is perhaps a bit unusual to have calls
coming from your own phones labeled "incoming". That is probably the
source of the confusion.

Thanks for the response /Benny

My understanding is that the 'context=whatever' in sip.conf is the name of the context that handles incoming calls from the outside - that's what I meant by 'incoming'.

I'm quite clear that 'incoming' means calls coming in from the outside.

The 'insecure' part is that knowlegable callers _could_ call in and use various methods to make outside possibly expensive calls _if_ the outgoing extens were in the same context. I don't want that!

That's why I want a clear separation between the incoming calls from outside and calls to the outside made by my phones on the inside.

The problem is I don't know how to use a context in extensions.conf without referring to it in sip.conf (context=something).

Do you know of a way?
