 * Policy that blocks either SIP signalling or RTP media. You can try use another SIP service provider that provides access over TCP or TLS instead of UDP or is using custom ports.

 * Some provider requires use of STUN protocol so that the SIP devices uses a public IP address in the Contact header. This is wrong as such behaviour is explicitly discouraged by the "standards":http://projects.ag-projects.com/projects/blinkc/wiki/MostEncounteredProblems#SIP-Provider-requires-STUN.
