Your phones only register once, when they first start up. Seems to me that
having multiple phones on the same account is asking for trouble- why not set
up multiple accounts in the usual way, and create a ring group for all the
phones you want to use? Like this example that rings two phones at the same
time:

exten => 100,1,Dial(SIP/101&SIP/102,30,t)
exten => 100,2,VoiceMail([EMAIL PROTECTED])

There are all kinds of fancy variations on this theme, but the idea is the
same: one user with many phones, one extension, one voicemail box.

I've been setting up a few systems recently with a SIP account and an IAX account (same passwords, CLI, etc.) and having the users use a SIP hardphone for the office desk, and an IAX (idefisk) softphone for out-of-office calls. (My Dial() calls both accounts, so both phones ring)

It saves hassles with NAT, etc. for remote SIP phones too.

No good if you only have SIP phones though!
