[asterisk-users] 2 devices using same sip account

[Carla Schroder]

Your phones only register once, when they first start up. Seems to me that 
having multiple phones on the same account is asking for trouble- why not set 
up multiple accounts in the usual way, and create a ring group for all the 
phones you want to use? Like this example that rings two phones at the same 
time:

exten => 100,1,Dial(SIP/101&SIP/102,30,t)
exten => 100,2,VoiceMail(100 at local-users)

There are all kinds of fancy variations on this theme, but the idea is the 
same: one user with many phones, one extension, one voicemail box.
