Yes Florian. With freecall on windows software it was possible to set my
CallerID.
Could you please tell me where to find in Ekiga this "Konto bearbeiten"
to set my CallerID?
Thanks.

It is possible to set the CallerID with Betamax.
The phone number has to be entered into and verified by the Windows
software initially, though.
I don't have an account with FreeCall, but I have successfully tested
it with VoipBuster and Poivy, which are also Betamax services.
Once you have verified your number by means of the windows software
(which I assume Judith already has), you can use it with any SIP
client, such as Ekiga.
You have to set your username to the verified phone number (format
+49XXX) and your authentication user to the actual Betamax username in
the sip settings dialog.
It should look something like this:
Also, setting his own CID is generally forbiden in EU (imagine: I
know your phone number, I know some of your friends, I set your CID
and call them even if my number is blaklisted!)
It is true that you as a home user cannot set an arbitrary CallerID.
The telephony provider can, however. This feature is called CLIP -no
screening-.
They just have to make sure that their customers won't abuse this
feature, which is why they usually will require some sort of
verification, that the number is indeed yours.
I hope this helps.
Florian
