It is a number in the format used by VoIPtalk. If your phone is
registered with their registration server you should not get a silent
line. Dialing a number which is in service should give you either a
ringing tone or a voice message telling you the user is unavailable. As
it happens 82412345 is not in service, so there is a voice message
informing you of that.

VoIPtalk gives *xxx for connecting to Gradwell whereas the Gradwell
website maintains it is **xxx. **xxx works for me; *xxx doesn't.
Whether or not VoIPtalk's peering numbers are given correctly I can
set up a call with another network.

This should definitely work without having to credit an account.

Sorry I cannot help with the SPA 3000 a bit more but I think your
conclusion is correct. What do you get with 903, 904 and 9123?
