Yeah, but I was hoping there was a '*89' ( or whatever the land line
number is for blocking outgoing caller ID ) option that would turn off the
auto-forward for a call.

The point of having two numbers is to be able to use them :).

Not going to the website to make calls, trying to use the phone as a,
*gasp*, phone ;-). Well, as a dynamically configured phone :).
