What does it mean for you, that this "breaks" it. Did it work before?

What is your "jump in point" to the dial plan? You do not have a 
context= line. So you may jump into the context=default as usually 
mentioned in sip.conf
[general]
context=default            ; Default context for incoming calls

Do you have something in the dialplan like:
[from-sipproviderexample.com]               ; if you would use this as 
your context= in sip.conf, otherwise the next lines in the default 
context of your extensions.conf
exten => _X.,1,Dial(SIP/601,60,tr)       ; if any number calling from 
this provider should ring extension 601
or
exten => 2135551212 ,3,Dial(SIP/601,60,tr)   ; if only a dialed in 
number 2135551212 of your provider should dial extension 601

Keep playing with:

context=xxxxx  and    [xxxxx]

exten  =>  something with  and without  starting  _ 

Hope it helps, ...


bye
