My experience is that the Ekiga test numbers do not always work.  Sign
up for an account at iptel.org and then you can try using their echo
test (echo iptel org).  It's handy to have an account with them, because
sometimes my ekiga account won't register properly.

There are other echo tests you can try.  Google for "ekiga fun numbers"
and you'll see some on that list.  I don't know of any other callback
numbers, unfortunately.
