I think so. Voxbone could work for example. Using such a DID provider,
you simply associate the DID with @ekiga.net SIP address.
Ok, ipkall just sent me my phone number, so I'll have to log in and change the sip info. However, to put the info in the ATA ekiga uses the standard port of 5060 I assume, and standard codec g711 or whatever it is (i think my linksys gives me a lot of codecs to choose from) and then I would need to put in the sip proxy my username and password. Is there a way to tell this works without purchases minutes or whatnot from diamondcard first? Would I at least get a dialtone if it works?

I think there is a page where you can see all call rates. It is even
directly accessible from within Ekiga itself :
https://www.diamondcard.us/exec/voip-login?act=sgn&spo=ekiga
Yea i saw the call rates, but I guess I wasn't sure if it was both in and out calls at that same rate. I'll just have to email them.
Apparently, it is also the same rate for mobiles.

I would mail their support service. I can not answer those questions :(
This may also be more for the email to Diamondcard, but the service gets charged per my sip address correct? So even if i have the ipkall DID directed towards the ekiga sip info the minutes charged will be against my diamondcard account, and same with outgoing?
