Hi Jan,

thanks for following up.

System Settings is a good hint. I just click on the phone number. After I=20
changed the System Settings for the phone standard app, I get the same erro=
r=20
message as you though. Even if I change the app back to kde connect. Not su=
re=20
how I can revert this setting :-/

Other then setting the app, the phone number needs to be handed over. I=20
previous verisons of kaddressbook, it was sufficient to tell kaddressbook t=
o=20
call

Linphone-6.0.0-CallEdition-x86_64.AppImage call %N=20

I am running Debian trixie.

Thanks
Rainer
