Ekiga can manage your SIP contacts. All of the contacts are displayed in the Contacts tab, shown in the main window after start-up. To add a contact or a new contact group, select Chat › Add Contact.
If you want to add a new group, enter the group name into the bottom text box and click 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.
Address
Enter a valid SIP address for your contact.
Groups
If you have many contacts, add your own groups.
To call a contact from the address book, double-click the contact. The call is initiated immediately.
