  Do you change From header field in SER ? If so then expect interoperability
  problems. Proxies must not change From, you will need a B2BUA for
  that.

  It is legal to have a Contact header field without username or with a
  completely different username. For example kphone puts your unix/linux
  username in there which will be probably different from username in
  To/From/Request-URI.
