I have looked everywhere for a way to do the same with skype and haven't found one (do you happen to have any hints for me on how to do that?). Right now I just start the dialer with another dbus call passing the phone number and the user has to change the call type to skype and push the call button - far too complicated for my goal.
Though Telepathy doesn't seem very well documented, it is exactly what you want. Rather than each of us creating a custom DBus API, Telepathy gives you a common DBus API for all of the areas that you want.

Thanks for the quick reply
TOR does use the standard dialpad UI
