Seems like I've managed to fix the issue. The first thing was that my 
LDAP schema didn't allow for "gecos" attribute to be inside 
AsteriskSIPUser (provided asterisk.ldif misses a few things ;). Another 
one was to add "rtcachefriends=yes" to general section of "sip.conf". 
The last was to add call-limit=AstAccountCallLimit to res_ldap.conf in 
[sip] section. Another issue is - can I keep hints in LDAP?
