[Asterisk-Users] FWD problems

I've been having issues getting FWD to work.  I posted this same Q to the 
FWD forum (no responses yet), but I was hoping someone here had some insight:

http://yabb.pulver.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=news;action=display;num=1072263468;start=0#0

I just signed up for an FWD account (I know I had one before, but I lost 
it..  :)

I've got it running through Asterisk - all working fine from a SIP 
standpoint. I can dial FWD numbers like 612/613/etc and everything 
works.  However, if I dial *18005551212 or *408xxxxxxx (say, a USA number), 
I either get a fast busy or a "This service is only available to FreeWorld 
Dialup members".

Am I missing something? I signed up, got my password .. the sip is 
registered, firewall is open, no NAT, etc. I've tried a variety of combos 
in dialing/etc .. to no avail. Is my account pending some type of 
activation or such?

Possibly / likely related, it seems that the "*" doesn't work when I'm 
trying to set up the voicemail either. I'm using a Cisco 7960 (but 
remember, it's actually Asterisk linking us together). The 7960 does have a 
"*" dialplan, so that shouldnt be an issue.

Any ideas you guys have would be great!

Here's what my sip.conf looks like:
register=99999:pass at fwd.pulver.com/453

It shows that it's registered in sip sho reg..

[fwd]
type=friend
secret=password
username=99999
fromuser=99999			; I dont need this .. but worth a shot, tried with and without
nat=yes 				;I'm not behind nat, but I thought I'd try it anyway
fromdomain=fwd.pulver.com		; Don't need this either. .but what the hay
host=fwd.pulver.com
canreinvite=no				; worth a shot, right?
reinvite=no

I then have an extension that does:
exten => _7.,1,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN:1}@fwd)


-d
