In other words, when I am texting someone, I would like them to see my number as GV number, but they see an unknown callback number (to them) which I am forced to use as screen name by your design. When I put my GV number as screen name, of course nothing works even if I have the correct callback number in the forward field.

The forward number should be what it says, i.e., callback number. And the screen name should be able to take any string as in username, alias, or at least GV number as a caller ID.
I actually can't figure out how to sms at all yet, using TOR. When I go to start a new sms and click to get a list of contacts, it says I have no contacts (even though if I check under 'my contacts', it displays everyone just fine). Should I not be using Conversations to sms?

I think my problem is caused because I'm only allowed to sms to a 'cell' number, and all my contacts are 'google voice' numbers... How is it you sms?
