First off thanks for VICar. It's been really useful for me.

I was also getting the same error as m_dk29

VICaR - Invalid request. Phone Number is not valid

dbus-monitor reveals that VICaR is trying to call 'publish' and 'subscribe' which are both non-numeric, hence the error.

I am new to telepathy so I am sharing info below hoping that somebody would correct me if I am wrong

After reading TP documentation I learned that both publish and subscribe have special purpose.

publish: get contacts to push presence info to
subscribe: get contacts to pull presence info from

Both do not apply to VICaR since it doesn't really connect to a server.

With that knowledge, I went ahead and updated 0.5.1 (only source in garage). If number to call is either 'publish' or 'subscribe' then don't forward request to callrouter.

I guess another way to do is by checking value of HandleType. It should always be 1 (Contact).

I don't see error message anymore but I think it just masks the problem. What really initiated request for 'publish' and 'subscribe' list?

Thanks again for the app!
