If the hot spot is blocking ports, there's probably not a good workaround. I find that some wifi hotspots (Panera Bread) block a lot of rather plain websites. Other block known ports for VPN connections (Kinko's) and even other block things like VOIP/SIP. I've never experienced a hot spot that allows me to do what I need to do all of the time. Others us a proxy service that delays the transport of media in favor of other well known protocols to give them priority. Welcome to the Internet.
I don't know of any commercial VOIP provider who can claim network usability 100% in a hotspot environment, it gets kinda hostile depending on the attitude of the gatekeeper in each hotspot environment. If your expectation is being set that it will always connect no matter what from hotspots, I think your expectations are too high, because I don't think it's realistic, but that's me. Alternatively, a STUN server might assist in getting reigistered, but still the hotspot/proxy manager can still "favor" other well known protocols/ports. Once running through STUN, your RTP might change, and might become (or stay) unknown so they don't get a high priority.
