Hi everyone, I recently started using Ekiga as an open source alternative to Skype and finally decided to give Ekiga's Call Out feature a try yesterday. I went ahead and signed up for an account with Diamondcard (Ekiga's default Call Out provider), got my payment confirmed and entered my account details in Ekiga. However, I have since been unable to get my Diamondcard account to work with Ekiga. I can log in to my Diamondcard account and send SMS from their web interface, but I haven't been able to use it with Ekiga.
I set up the following two accounts in Edit -> Accounts: 1. Ekiga.net account (for Ekiga-Ekiga calls): Registrar: ekiga.net User & Authentication user: <my Ekiga.net username> Password: <my Ekiga.net password> Timeout: 3600 2. Ekiga Call Out account (for landline/mobile phone calls & SMS): Registrar: sip.diamondcard.us User & Authentication user: <my Diamondcard ID> Password: <my Diamondcard PIN> Timeout: 3600 Shortly after enabling both accounts my Ekiga.net account shows up as "Registered", but my Call Out account says "Could not register (Failed)" and I cannot place calls to landline numbers or the Diamondcard echo test number (sip:[email protected]). Of course I followed the instructions on http://wiki.diamondcard.us/podwiki?page=EkigaPhone and have entered the correct account ID and PIN as I found them on the Diamondcard homepage after logging in. When right-clicking the Call Out account and selecting "Consult the balance history" I am transferred to a Diamondcard website which tells me how much money I have charged to my account and how much I have used for sending SMS from their homepage, so the credentials I have entered are correct. I am running Ekiga 3.2.7 on an Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick) Linux system on a variety of networks, normally behind a router. So this is where I am stuck now. I would love to use Ekiga to replace Skype for PC-to-PC and PC-to-Phone (landline/mobile) calling and SMS. Also, I'd really like to support a free software project such as Ekiga financially, but I can't seem to get around this problem and hope that someone can give me some advice on how to fix this. I have posted this on the Ubuntu Support Forums as well (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10587082) and will publish the solution there for the support of other users (of course giving credit to whoever helps me track down the problem :-)). _______________________________________________ ekiga-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/ekiga-list
