@Danielle, tried this what you mentioned (regarding gnome-contacts), which sounded like some sort of a solution (if not the solution most people probably prefer);
While I am able to call out from empathy, on the SIP account (by manually entering the phone number), having the phone number in gnome-contacts and registering the SIP account as usable for phone and mobile, didn't seem to work. I click on the 'phone' icon in gnome contacts, and nothing at all happens. Any idea what I can check, to troubleshoot this? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/294991 Title: SIP/Ekiga accounts don't store contacts To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/empathy/+bug/294991/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
