Re: [Ekiga-list] SIP NUMBER

[Justin Ibrahim <justinibrahim1 gmail com>]

I'm trying to test the service with IPKall but I can't seem to get past IPKall's registration page. 

IPkall is asking for SIP number. I typed in "my-username-gotten-from-ekiga"@ekiga.net but it gives me the error below.  So I typed in my SIP number as "alias-number-gotten-from-simbroker.com"@ekiga.net and I am using freevoip.fonosip.com as the SIP proxy but when I hit submit it still tells me the same error: "PLEASE ENTER A VALID SIP NUMBER..

Can anyone help me with this? I need to complete this to have a better understanding of how this all works.

Thanks in anticipation of any swift response.

Justin.

Thank you for your response..

I have done some reading and ekiga says it is possible through their diamoncard service by obtaining a personal virtual DID number (which they say is not mandatory as you can use any other DID service you want).

Okay here's the deal. I have done some reading and discovered that the number was a feature for ekiga which was removed (after some update) and yannick didn't have the time to update it... So my best bet would be to register for a numeric alias at simbroker.com. Okay I have this sorted out and please anyone can correct me if I'm wrong. I was initially confused as to what the SIP number actually is but it looks like it is the same thing as what is called the SIP URI. So my confusion was if it would be "alias"@ekiga.net OR if it would be "alias":"my-ekiga.net-username"@ekiga.net.. Apparently this is where I got stuck. But it seems since an SIP number is practically the same as an SIP URI, then my real SIP number would be "alias"@ekiga.net. (Please any correction would be appreciated if this assumption is wrong).

In other words, if I choose not to use diamondcard I would have to get a service which offers what they offer meaning I will need the SIP proxy.

if you are looking for a number that is dialable by a standard phone to call you via ekiga, I have not seen that option available (though I haven't specifically looked for that as of yet)... as far as I know, your ekiga service is SIP so someone with SKYPE, EKIGA or another internet-based calling service would be able to call you at username ekiga net, but not 1-123-123-1234 or a standard home/cell phone number.  Again, I could be wrong, but I do not believe ekiga is setup for this by default.  I encourage you to read through their website and help pages to get a clear understanding of what you have signed up for.
