What is a SIP URI?
A SIP URI is an address, similar to an email but NOT an email, used to contact other SIP users on other SIP networks. The standard format for a SIP URI is:

USER@ADDRESS

For example:

[email protected]

A SIP URI should not contain special characters, such as "(), [], {}, *, #, $, !, ^". Using these characters may cause problems as these are special characters and may provide an unintended result.

For a non Callcentric user trying to contact you you directly over SIP may use the format [email protected] or [email protected]. This is described further here.
