Hello:

I solved my issue by changing type=friend with type=peer in
[555555555] section, afterwards, googling I've found this article that
explain me why:

Re: type=friend is bad for you

Another little known fact about the difference between peer and friend:
Friend will challenge INVITEs. When making outbound calls from a
registered phone/peer another challenge will be issued.

This means type=friend requires second INVITE with authentication
credentials, while peer will accept INVITE without challenge.

In other words type=friend does not care about the phone registration
status and always tries to authenticate as if the phone never
registered.
