[asterisk-users] unable to create channel of type 'SIP'

I'm trying to use OpenBTS with Asterisk.
I have two phones that are connecting to OpenBTS correctly, but on the
Asterisk side the phones can't call each other.

I followed this guide:
http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/OpenBTSSettingUpAsterisk
I set up two phones in sip.conf and extensions.conf.

In my SIP output I see this:
WARNING[1689]: app_dial.c:2041 dial_exec_full: unable to create
channel of type 'SIP' (cause 20 - unknown)

If I type sip show registry it says there are 0 SIP registrations.
Should I see both the phones registered at this point?
If that's what's wrong, what am I doing wrong that's making the phones
not able to register?

Below is my Asterisk configuration.
