Principally, We need to do

Ekiga -> Edit -> Accounts -> Add a SIP Account

The needed informartion would be

Name			: VoIP number
Registrar		: SIP Server
User			: VoIP number
Authentication User	: VoIP number
Password		: password VoIP

In the early start of Ekiga, we need to set several parameters. We may cancel the early configuration process and do it later through Configuration Assistant menu from

Ekiga ->  Edit -> Configuration Assistant
