It depends, if a provider is blocking SIP traffic only to its domain
then communications of this provider will be only within its domain.

e.g. Facebook and WhatsApp are both using Jabber/XMPP (which is usually
opened to other domains like SIP) for their communications, but both
restrict their communications merely for their domain names.

IMHO, Maybe you need to add, near Diamondcard, a number to call you
back from land-line, if there is.
