Those numbers are stored in Evolution's addressbook. If they
disappeared, there are three possibilities :
1) you were running the non-Gnome version and now you are running the
Gnome version of Ekiga
2) the opposite
3) a bug in evolution-data-server

But Ekiga still works the same regarding the phone numbers. They are
even stored in an external entity. So there is no risk of loosing them.

The only different thing is that they are not displayed by default, you
have to right-click...
