Bug Description

Binary package hint: ekiga

At the moment if I put in a regular telephone number in the format +12 3 45678945 Ekiga will not only play stupid and ignore everything after the first space, but it will actually delete everything after the first space. So actually ringing out with ekiga doesn't just work.

I suggest off the top of my head one of two solutions: a.) ignore spaces and treat them as if they are not there, or b.) check entered telephone numbers for correctness before allowing them to be used, then give guidance as needed.

I wrote 'ignore spaces' of course what I should have written was 'ignore all non numbers'.

summary: - Ekiga should ignore spaces in telephone number
+ Ekiga can't use real world phone numbers
