The OP said it was for his daughter at University. If she is in halls
or doesn't have access to the router then she will be unable to forward
the necessary ports. There are workarounds, but not as easy as a skype
handset.

Edit: The OP also said he was planning on using it with sipdiscount, has
anybody tested this without port forwarding?
