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.
