You can set incominglimit=1 (1.0.x) or call-limit=1 (1.2b / CVS head) in 
sip.conf for that extension. 

These limits are named from asterisk's perspective.  incominglimit is 
calls coming in to asterisk, so it would limit calls from the sip phone 
to asterisk, but not from asterisk to the phone.  outgoinglimit (1.0.x) 
doesn't work from what I've read.

call-limit is both directions.  It may be what you need.  However, you 
won't be able to do an attended transfer.  Blind transfer might work, 
but I haven't tried it.

quote from previous thread from Olle Johansson:

"incominglimit is replaced by call-limit. Please read sip.conf.sample.

Outgoinglimit has not worked for ages, so we removed it. One limit works
for both incoming and outgoing calls now."
