it can be also usefull to use 'limitonpeer' option in sip.conf
with this, it would not be needed to define separate type=user and 
type=peer for each phone,
instead define one type=friend and apply limitonpeers=yes


;limitonpeers=no                ; Apply all call limits ("limit=") only 
to peers, never
                                ; to users. This improves handling of 
call limits
                                ; and device states in certain 
situations. The user part
                                ; of a type=friend will still be 
affected by the call
                                ; limit, but Asterisk will only use one 
object for
                                ; counting the simultaneous calls.
