Just curious:
Is there any way to find out (using SIP protocol) if a certain SIP-Contact

sip contact?
that's what the asynchronous-based SUBSCRIBE-NOTIFY presence is good for.]
not many UAs implement it though, so you may instead try polling the UAs.
OPTIONS would be a better choice than INVITE since it does not cause the
other party to ring. Nevertheless, you are not really sure who responds
to the OPTIONS -- it may be voicemail too.
