Well, it looks like it's working! I made a few calls from my cell phone
using Fring*. Even though I was calling myself it worked, Linphone
started ringing on my computer and I started having a conversation with
myself :)

* (Fring is a mobile messenger app that allows you to use your SIP
account to make calls from your cellphone, so it's basically a client
application like Linphone or Ekiga, etc.)

The only thing I couldn't do was test and verify that the video
capability was working because I don't know people with SIP accounts and
webcams (My cellphone doesn't have a web cam). I'm gonna set up my wife
with an SIP account soon and I'll report back.

One last note which is probably more of a hardware issue on my end is:
Once in a blue moon my speakers and mic won't respond and Linphone is no
fun. But I found that the easy fix in Ubuntu at least is to go to
System > Preferences > Multimedia Systems Selector and just click on the
Test buttons for Default output and Default input. After that everything
is detected and works.

Happy VoIPing!
