Ekiga can receive calls in two different ways. First, the user may be
called directly with sip:user@host. Alternatively,
make your calls via a SIP provider. Most SIP providers enable you to get
calls from a normal landline to your VoIP account. Depending on the mode
in which Ekiga is run, there are several ways in which you would notice
an incoming call:
Incoming calls can only be received and answered if Ekiga is already running. You hear the ring sound on your headset or your speakers. If Ekiga is not running, the call cannot be received.
Normally, the Ekiga panel applet would run silently without giving any notice of its existence. This changes as soon as a call comes in. The main window of Ekiga opens and you hear a ring sound on your headset or speakers.
Once you have noticed an incoming call, just click to answer the call then start talking. If you do not want to accept this call, click . It is also possible to transfer the call to another SIP address.
