At first I assumed they were locked to Sipgate, as nobody is selling them
at anywhere near the price that Sipgate do [cheapest I've seen is £109 on
eBay, no mention of VAT]. But then I thought, even if they were locked,
it would forever for Sipgate to make their money back at their rates. So
I've come to the conclusion that either a) Sipgate get them cheaper than
everyone else, b) Sipgate lose money on every one or, c) Everyone else is
coining it in.

Just go into the WLAN/SIP settings and if it lets you specify anything
other than sipgate.co.uk for domain name/proxy server/register server,
then it should work with services other than Sipgate. I am interested in
one and I use Sipgate, but I use it through Asterisk so if it was locked
it would be no use to me.
