Re: [Linphone-users] Calling linphone out of kaddressbook

[Rainer Dorsch]

Hi Maciej,

that was the right pointer, many thanks.

linphone "call sip-address=sip:%N@192.168.0.1"

is the correct replacement for linphone --call %N in kaddressbook.

Does linphone provide an interface to query an addressbook?

Thanks
Rainer
