@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 Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to empathy in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/294991 Title: SIP/Ekiga accounts don't store contacts Status in Chat app, and Telepathy user interface: Fix Released Status in telepathy-sofiasip: Confirmed Status in “empathy” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “telepathy-sofiasip” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: empathy I'd like to be able to store some contact details for other users of Ekiga using Empathy. But the Add Contact dialog silently accepts my input but then doesn't show up the contact in my contacts list, even when I activate 'Show offline users'. Either it should be impossible to add SIP contacts, or else the bug should be fixed and the contacts stored and displayed.
