So, finally found some stuff from my cisco / linksys SPA 122, which I have working with Nimvelo. It has a "quick setup" page, that looks like this:
Quick Setup
Line 1
Proxy:
Display Name:
User ID: 2598869e0
Password:
Dial Plan: (*xx|[3469]11|0|00|[2-9]xxxxxx|1xxx[2-9]xxxxxxS0|xxxxxxxxxxxx.)
Line 2
Proxy: sip.sipcentric.com
Display Name: 109xxx
User ID: 109xxx
Password:
Dial Plan: (*xx|[3469]11|0|00|[2-9]xxxxxx|1xxx[2-9]xxxxxxS0|xxxxxxxxxxxx.)
I remember reading that NAT can give issues, here's my NAT details:
Voice / Line 2: set NAT Keep Alive Enable --> Yes
NAT Settings
NAT Mapping Enable: no
NAT Keep Alive Enable: yes
NAT Keep Alive Msg: $NOTIFY
NAT Keep Alive Dest: $PROXY
Proxy and Registration
Proxy: sip.sipcentric.com
Outbound Proxy:
Use Outbound Proxy: no

DNS SRV Auto Prefix: no
Proxy Fallback Intvl: 3600
Proxy Redundancy Method: Normal
Mailbox Subscribe URL:
Mailbox Subscribe Expires: 2147483647

I'm a tech support person, and one thing I've learnt is that often the documentation is not only bad, it tells lies!
When another techie says "hey, did you try this" and you know it only takes a few moments to try it, then it has to be worth trying (and so often that's the detail you need)
I note that Sipgate also use an outbound proxy, so obviously not uncommon. There's an article that explains the outbound proxy https://kb.smartvox.co.uk/ip-phones/sip-outbound-proxy-server-explained/ also a link to https://kb.smartvox.co.uk/ip-phones/ip-phone-configuration-sip-proxy-server/ , where it says that if you leave it (the outbound proxy server) blank, then all SIP requests will generally be sent to the “Proxy Server”.
I'd be very tempted to just try it, what is there to lose?
ADDED:
I see that, in that Linksys config, the "Use outbound proxy" is actually set to "yes", and the outbound proxy field is, as we already commented is blank.... my brain says either set it to "no" or fill in the outbound proxy!! ALSO set "DNS SRV" to no.

Agreed, but I'd suggest setting the 'use Outbound proxy' to no first and see if that sorts it, since the settings are inconsistent as they are.
Superusers are not staff, but they do have a direct line of communication into the business in order to raise issues, concerns and feedback from the community.

Below is what I believe to be the relevant config. details.
For comparison I've attached a screenshot of the FreeVoipDeal settings from my Gigaset N300IP with 'Authentication name' and 'Username' (phone number in this case, see my earlier post) changed for obvious reasons.
Having just had a bit of a play with the settings I can confirm that the account still registers with any or all of the fields listed below BLANK, although I didn't try making any calls or leave it in that state for any length of time.
Proxy server address:
Proxy server port:
Registration server:
Registration server port:
Although I have entered STUN settings STUN is not being used (can't remember why I entered them).

Thanks for all the feedback
I think I've tried all of your suggestions and many others.
FVD's instructions say leave Outbound Proxy blank, so they clearly do not need that, (I've tried putting their Proxy Server name in there, anyway, with and without the (sip.) to no avail.
My existing account registers OK with only 3 fields filled (Proxy, Password & User ID)
I think my only chance is to find someone who has an SPA 3102 with an FVD account.
I have it working on the mobile app so will settle for that meanwhile.

Googling found this (which you may have already seen)
http://www.pap2t.com/?show=pomoc (no https:)
Some way down the page in the section
How do I configure the Linksys PAP2T Gateway with other Betamax / Dellmont services?
it says
Use Auth ID: NO
Auth ID: -
(The only time I've ever used it is when the phone number is substituted for username as described earlier)
Edit: I've never used that device or yours, but I believe they're broadly similar.
