<p>When making an outbound call, if sip peer is not registered, first it registers itself, and then makes the call. This is why you don't see any problem dialing out. For receiving, asterisk has to wait until the sip peer registers, otherwise asterisk has nowhere to send the call.</p>
<p>I know the pain, as I deal with the same situation. So I don't do 'reload' or 'sip reload' except if sip password (secret) has been changed, in which case I prefer to use 'sip prune realtime peer <extension>' followed by 'sip show peer <extension> load'. Most of the sip devices re-register every 60 seconds, or if they don't on a realtime network, depending upon the bandwidth, they should be made to do so. Or in some cases you can send a reboot signal to a sip device too. The bottom line is, try not to do a 'reload' as it would affect everybody else too by dropping their registrations temporarily.</p>

"don't do a 'reload'", do an "extensions reload" or whatever it is specific<br>
