That's not completely true... you need a SIP proxy, not a SIP provider.

One could also download something like PingTel's IP PBX or Asterisk and DIY VoIP. That would just get you your VoIP connectivity. If you wanted to connect to the regular telephone network, you'd need something like a Sipura IAD.

If you wanted to outsource, a perfect example of a company that will handle outsource SIP proxy services (rather than a telephony-specific approach like Vonage, et. al.) is www.ag-projects.com They'll set up an instance of SIP Express Router and get you up and going. I believe they're SIP only, but publically addressable SIP.

If you didn't need your own domain, Jeff Pulver at Pulver.com sells a cordless IP phone as part of his FWD service, which is also a SIP proxy hosted solution. I believe that there are in and outbound media gateways for that service, too.
