Alright, I see what you mean.  Have you entered a "register" statement in
sip.conf, then? I.e something like

register => USER:SECRET at PROVIDER.COM/EXTENSION

What I understand is that this will result in your Asterisk Server
registering on that provider's server as one of its users.  Now the
question is how you dial out through this registration... Ya?  That much I
don't claim to know.  I just hope guys who have done this are reading this
thread.  I'd like to learn this too.

However try using the dial below with the above register statement in
place (don't forget to reload your Asterisk server).

exten => _7.,2,Dial(SIP/PROVIDER.COM/${EXTEN:1})

Ideas, anyone else?
