Using the Address Book

Ekiga has the ability to manage your SIP contacts. All of the contacts are displayed in the Contacts tab, shown in the main window after startup. To add a contact or a new contact group, run Chat+Add Contact.

If you want to add a new group, enter the group name into the bottom input field and press Add. The new group is then added to the group list and preselected.

The following entries are required for a valid contact:

Name

Enter the name of your contact. This may be a full name, but you can also use a nickname here.

SIP Address

Enter a valid SIP address for your contact.

Groups

If you have many different contacts, add your own groups.

To call a contact from the address book, double-click this contact. The call is initiated immediately.
