Ivor is spot on. Big mistake, I think, buying a locked device !
Even if you are happy with Sipgate you won't be able to use any
additional provider. Being able to do this is one of the big
advantages of VoIP.
It isn't like being on BT. If you don't like your VoIP provider, or
you find a better deal for calling certain destinations, you can move
in minutes. With a locked device you can't do that.
