Thank you for your response.. I have done some reading and ekiga says it is possible through their diamoncard <http://wiki.diamondcard.us/podwiki?page=PersNumbers> service by obtaining a personal virtual DID number (which they say is not mandatory as you can use any other DID service you want).
Okay here's the deal. I have done some reading and discovered that the number was a feature for ekiga which was removed (after some update) and yannick didn't have the time to update it... So my best bet would be to register for a numeric alias at simbroker.com. Okay I have this sorted out and please anyone can correct me if I'm wrong. I was initially confused as to what the SIP number actually is but it looks like it is the same thing as what is called the SIP URI. So my confusion was if it would be "alias"@ ekiga.net OR if it would be "alias":"my-ekiga.net-username"@ekiga.net.. Apparently this is where I got stuck. But it seems since an SIP number is practically the same as an SIP URI, then my real SIP number would be "alias"@ekiga.net. (Please any correction would be appreciated if this assumption is wrong). In other words, if I choose not to use diamondcard I would have to get a service which offers what they offer meaning I will need the SIP proxy.
