Has anyone managed to get Ekiga 3.0.1 to work with VoIP providers? Ekiga 2.12 in openSUSE 11.0 worked perfectly all the time.. this new version is making me go bald. I can only get it to tell me "User is not available" now when I try to place a call to the regular phone network.

I've wiped the Ekiga settings and set it all up again and triple checked my SIP account settings (and it's registering on my VoIP provider)... still nothing works.

Any tips or suggestions here?

I've been chattering over on the ekiga mailing list and discovered what the problem is. In Ekiga 2.0.12, you can make a call to a landline by simply typing in the phone number. Ekiga was smart enough to fill in the gaps and connect you with the call. This is no longer the case in Ekiga 3.0.1. In the new version you must type in the *whole* URI... so sip:phonenumber@voip.provider.net or the call will not be placed, and it will appear that there is some error with your connection to your VoIP provider. Alternatively, the auto-complete will add in the missing parts of the URI, but it is not used (in my testing anyway) unless you actually manually select or click on the full URI in the combo box. I feel this is quite a big regression in functionality compared to how it worked in 2.0.12... but maybe I'm missing the point. The developers who are responding to the thread on the Ekiga mailing list do not think really this change is a regression... one of us is missing the point... not sure who though. For now I've rolled back to Ekiga 2.0.12 so save myself the grief and aggravation from the non-computer savy users who use Ekiga on my computer to make phone calls to landlines.
