This is why we set the SIP user ID to be the MAC of the device. It helps us remember that EXTENSION != DEVICE.

I'm attempting to have multiple phones (geographically seperated) register to a single extension, so when the extension is dialed, any phone can pick up the call. Is this better handled by having each phone have a seperate extension, and handle the call routing in a dial plan?

It might be wise to disassociate the term "extension" from a device... because in Asterisk an extension is a set of instructions that execute a set of applications. For your need you should probably have multiple devices in sip.conf, and have the extension dial all of them.

ie:

Dial(SIP/145_1&SIP/145_2&SIP/145_3)

3 phones would each be registered on the machine as 145_1, 145_2, and 145_3.

The first one to pick up would get the call and all the rest would stop ringing.
