How-To: Use Ekiga VoIP Client for Handling Your Gizmo SIP Account
Out of curiosity I wanted to see how easy it would be to setup Ekiga (installed by default on Ubuntu and many other Linux distros) to manage my Gizmo account/service. As it turns out, it’s quite easy. So, if you’re into using free/libre software over closed source software, this guide is for you.
Instructions:
1. Open Ekiga and go to Edit > Accounts
2. Now in the Account window click +Add
3. Enter the following settings into the Account Information pane:
Account Name: Gizmo
Registrar: proxy01.sipphone.com:5060
User: 1747169XXXX (your 11-digit SIP number — find it in Gizmo by clicking Account > My Profile)
Password: YOURPASSWORD
Authentication Login: 1747169XXXX (your 11-digit SIP number)
Registration Timeout: 3600
To make pc-to-phone calls, just enter the full phone number, MORE »
