I think there was one option in MyContacts in which the app dials out to your GV number, then sends DTMF tones to begin dialling out. This method quite naturally does not require "logging in".
(I might be confusing the app that has this feature - it might have been in vicar. :confused:)

You are correct: MyContacts can place call using Google Voice using TOR, qgvdial, VICAR and/or "directly" by sending the DTMF tones (no login required in this case). I like having options :)

TOR is a plugin to the communication framework. The communication framework provides the plugin to the contact app and I have no control over it.

I could write a plugin to the contacts app also but that seems outside of the scope of TOR and is already being provided.

Ed,

I hope one day you will do me the honor of trying mycontacts :)

MyContacts is a stand-alone application that uses Qt Mobility to get the contacts from the address book and Telepathy to place calls, send texts and so on. MyContacts also provides several interfaces to external apps (fMMS, qgvdial, vicar, vertsms, ...) to initiate calls/texts not implemented by telepathy.

MyContacts can also place calls using GoogleVoice by sending DTMF tones (see previous post). When TOR is installed MyContacts will offer TOR as one "routing option". But you will only be able to place a call or send text if you are logged in to TOR.

I would assume there is a dbus signal that will prompt telepathy to bring "TOR" account online. I could use that to autologin to TOR when the user is not already online and has TOR as the default routing option. Any hints/comments?

Another option that I personally like better would be to use DialCentral to place calls/send text on demand. I only use google voice to "output" (no incoming calls and no incoming sms) and don't see the point of having TOR/qgvdial running all the time.

Re: [Announce] The One Ring

When I try to place a call using Google Voice through the dial pad it either says "Internet Connection Required" or "Busy". Is there something I didn't configure right? My service is T-Mobile if that is useful in the slightest.

Re: [Announce] The One Ring

Now it is saying (in the log) that there was an error with my callback number (currently ""). How do I set up my callback number?

I take it you have extras-testing enabled and just got an upgrade available?

The callback number is configured through the nickname field.

Re: [Announce] The One Ring

Hey epage,

I was getting network errors recently while trying to login my gv. Somehow after a couple enable / disables I have managed it to connect back. However, for some unknown reason the pollback times was set to -max(int32) which ended up polling nothing --no voice mail, no text. After correcting these it polled a couple textx from the server as new messages but interestingly these werent registered in Comm. app. Are these known issues? I am using the latest tor update and on PR 1.3

Any thoughts?

Re: [Announce] The One Ring

How does TOR make GoogleVoice calls??

I had assumed that you logged into the GoogleVoice website and used it to request a GoogleVoice-Callback.

However, this quote from your wiki, sounds like you are doing something difference:

Quote:

Calls

When you make a call (whether through the dialpad or other means), a "phone call" will be started and immediately disconnect. This informed GV to start a call. Immediately after you should have the call connected.

So, I'm a bit confused.

Kind of weird you had issues connecting. Log file?

That could be clarrified. What I mean is that your n900 pops up the phone UI, initiates the callback, and then immediately closes.

Could you tell me where the log file is in?
