The router could then be configured to relay incoming calls to a POTS

the SIP provider of choice, the router then received that "call" and is
programmed to relay to another POTS line


I like it, so you could make your chargeable calls from home to your 2nd
home, which would in turn force the 2nd home to make its chargeable
calls to some fixed number, killing two birds with one stone ...


Better still, from your mobile (using inclusive minutes), bouncing the
calls to the landline in the 1st home at a time when they aren't charged.
No other fixed number needed then.
