That's probably the case. All my numbers except one are relatively early
ones, allocated when Sipgate first started in the UK over a year ago,
although the one I set up a couple of months ago also corresponds, but it
isn't an exchange code with an awful lot of users so there are probably
lots of spare numbers.
In any event, always use the 7 digit SIP ID when setting up an ipkall
number.
