Last time I checked (it was several years ago), Skype service was not SIP-based and did not offer a SIP server. So you can't. Think of it as an attempt to "migrate" Skype text chat to email. You simply can't, as they are two incompatible protocols.

Was your landline number provided by Skype or some other phone provider?
How do you exactly plan to "port over" the number?
As far as I know, Skype (as a provider) does not use SIP on client side;
they have their own protocol that only Skype (as an application) uses. So
if the number stays with Skype (provider), you need to keep your Skype
account and your Skype application.
If you are able to transfer the number (via the administrative process) from
Skype (provider) to another phone provider that uses standard SIP - or if
your number is already handled by such a provider - you may use any
SIP-compatible softphone application (including Linphone, which this mailing
list is devoted to).
Whether video calling and/or SMS functionality will be possible, it depends
on the provider. Usually these functions are not available with calls
from/to regular phone network, but *may* be available with pure SIP-to-SIP
calls (depending also on application capabilities on both ends). Linphone
supports these features, but the application on the other end, or the
provider, might not support them.
I don't know if the administrative process I'm referring to does exist in
the US; in Poland, if you are a subscriber to any phone provider and have a
Polish phone number, you can request to have that number administratively
transferred to another Polish provider you choose; ie. you are changing a
provider while keeping your phone number.
As you are located in Poland, have you considered subscribing to a Polish
phone provider (for example https://www.ipfon.pl/ ) and obtaining a Polish
phone number instead the US number you use currently? Is it a viable option
for you?

I did mean a VoIP-enabled router, which is a SIP device by itself. You don't need any port forward then. They are quite common. The phones (normal, analog phones) are connected directly to the router on RJ-11 ports. Most of the router types support two phones. Some cheaper models support only 1 phone, but there are also the ones like Fritz!Box series, that support a whole bunch of phones... You can use these routers with some provider's SIP server, but you can also call them directly at their IP address. Each phone will use a different SIP port. If you are using a SIP server, then each phone can be configured to use different server and/or account. -- Regards, Jaroslaw Rafa r...@rafa.eu.org -- "In a million years, when kids go to school, they're gonna know: once there was a Hushpuppy, and she lived with her daddy in the Bathtub." ___ Linphone-users mailing list Linphone-users@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/linphone-users

That's not an issue if someone already *has* an IPv4 address. Don't understand why you (implicitly) assumed that the target device does not have an IPv4 address, only IPv6.

In typical home/small office network scenarios the VoIP endpoint is your router, that connects you to your ISP. The router has a VoIP gateway built in and one or more of typical analog phones connected to it. The NAT issue does not exist in that case, as the router almost always has a public IP address.

You need an account at a VoIP provider that acts as a gateway between SIP and PSTN. There are a lot of providers to choose from.

I can use it with any SIP client (either hardware or software) - including Linphone - without any problems. The same applies for many other VoIP providers in my country.

Well, Ubuntu 21.04 has currently version 4.2.5-3 in it's repository, but Ubuntu 20.04 still has 3.12.0-3.1. And I want to stick with 20.04 because it's a LTS (Long Term Support) release, which means it's supported for 5 years, while 21.04 is a standard release with only 1,5 year of support. I use only LTS releases because 1,5 year of support means for me that shortly after you get used to the system, have customized it to your needs and started to feel comfortably in the environment the support is over (and so there are no more updates) and you have to upgrade to a new release. So with standard releases I would have to continuously upgrade, configure, resolve issues, again upgrade, configure, resolve issues etc. which leaves little time to do any actual productive work on the system :). As linphone-desktop package is dependent on 17 other packages (at least that's the number of packages that were automatically installed as dependencies when I installed the program), of which 15 are various libraries, I guess it isn't easy to upgrade without risking messing up my system. Is there any PPA which contains backports of current Linphone version to older, still supported Ubuntu releases? I have found only this PPA: https://launchpad.net/~linphone/+archive/ubuntu/release/ but it contains builds only for old, already unsupported Ubuntu releases - the highest available is 16.04, with Linphone version 3.9.1. -- Regards, Jaroslaw Rafa r...@rafa.eu.org -- "In a million years, when kids go to school, they're gonna know: once there was a Hushpuppy, and she lived with her daddy in the Bathtub." ___ Linphone-users mailing list Linphone-users@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/linphone-users
[Linphone-users] Is it possible to change recordings location?
Hello, I just installed Linphone on Ubuntu 20.04. The main feature that I need is the call recording. However, I don't see any option in preferences to change the default location for the recorded files. The program saves all recordings in the default ~/Music directory. I'd rather use a different location, because this folder is pretty crowded in my system and I don't want to mix phone call recordings with actual music in my music players. Is there any way to change this? I have read somewhere about a dialog that Linphone is supposed to display, asking where to save the recording, but no such dialog appears for me. When I click the "Record" button, Linphone just starts recording to the default ~/Music folder and when the call ends, the recording just ends automatically and the recorded file stays in the ~/Music directory. The version of Linphone that I have installed is the current one from Ubuntu "universe" repository: 3.12.0-3.1 -- Regards, Jaroslaw Rafa r...@rafa.eu.org -- "In a million years, when kids go to school, they're gonna know: once there was a Hushpuppy, and she lived with her daddy in the Bathtub." ___ Linphone-users mailing list Linphone-users@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/linphone-users
