WOW!
xxM5xx, your contribution here is very much appreciated. I learned a lot of new details about Gizmo and SIP in common. Now I can swim in this water without fear to drown.

You said that
"If you do not have your account funded, and/or you don't provide "CallWave" the landline/mobile numbers they seek, all calls to your Area775 number go straight to voicemail."
Are you sure about that? That's exactly my case - I do not want to spend a penny on it for now and from what I've read, Area 775 number will ring on your softphone without any money involved - here is a quote from their site:
Why would I want an Area775 number?
Well, the answer probably depends on what plan you're looking at.

* Free Account: You are a thrifty person. You have probably read all the fine print, and realize that to get the free account, you still have to enter in a credit card number. However, you also noticed that if you DO NOT enter a phone number for "Dual Ring" or "Call Transfer", then your credit card will NEVER be charged, and you will effectively have a FREE Nevada area code (775) Call In number.
If you are right, than my problem is not a router, it is just my greediness.
Thanks for the IPKall link - I'll give it a try.
Honestly, I do not see a usefulness of having SIP number on N800 - I just want to play with it a little.
