This just wont work. VoIP is not like email. I wish it could work as
email, but it does not work like an email.

Those networks may join together if there is an agreement between them.
The usual word for this agreement is "peering". You add a special prefix
to the sip address to tell your network (the account you want to use) to
link to another network.

Ekiga.net has peering with many VoIP other network, thanks to
sipbroker :

Here is exemple of numbers you can dial using Ekiga.net account to join
other network:

e.g. sip*010600 ekiga net
*010 is the peering prefix which indicate to Ekiga.net provider to join
the VoIP network "Voxalot" and to call number 600 in this network (which
is an echo test).

Why is VoIP like this and not like email? I dont know.
