Do you have qualify=1000 or some value in the sip.conf?  Are you
getting a time when you do a sip show peers?  It could be the phone is
registering and then losing network, and if the registration time is
an hour it would still show as registered even if it was
uncontactable. (I think). IANAAE (I am not an asterisk expert.)

e.g. 
212/          192.168.0.25     D          255.255.255.255  5062     OK (24 ms)
211/          192.168.0.25     D          255.255.255.255  5060     OK (27 ms)
210/          192.168.0.23     D          255.255.255.255  5060     OK (59 ms)
203/          (Unspecified)    D          255.255.255.255  0        UNKNOWN
