I would never recommend using a type=friend for a service provider
connection. You need one peer for calling out and another for receiving 
calls, or at least add a "host=<hostname of provider's server>" to 
enable matching on IP on incoming calls.

The problem here is, as you figured out Jonathan, that this peer section 
does not match the incoming call. Adding a host=hostname entry will help 
matching.
