Comment 24 for bug 294991

@Danielle,

tried this what you mentioned (regarding gnome-contacts), which sounded like some sort of a solution (if not the solution most people probably prefer);

While I am able to call out from empathy, on the SIP account (by manually entering the phone number),
having the phone number in gnome-contacts and registering the SIP account as usable for phone and mobile, didn't seem to work.
I click on the 'phone' icon in gnome contacts, and nothing at all happens.

Any idea what I can check, to troubleshoot this?
