OK David, thanks to your clarification on that. I assumed Ekiga "ran" its providers as Skype users are lead to think. I'll look into the SIP market.
I appreciate the quick response!

Ekiga is a client - (technically called a 'user agent'). One
advantage over Skype is that you can shop around for SIP or H.323
providers, many of which offer pc-to-phone rates that beat Skype
handsomely, and free calls to other SIP users.

These again depend on the provider you choose. Many SIP providers can
e-mail your voicemails to you, so you will be in total control of them
from that point.
