I have been entering these numbers into the notes section of my contacts manually. My request is that your direct dialer script check the notes section for each contact, and determine if a 406/972 number is available instead.

Or these numbers could be stored in some other sort of database (a text file, or somewhere within qgvdial) that the user can manually edit. Ex:

Code:
253-752-6589=406-215-9856
253-752-5896=406-223-5896
Unfortunately google voice doesn't offer any way to get the 406/972 numbers other than receiving a text message, so this database would have to manually be created.
So here's the thing: In the contacts view, there is a large blank area where I plan to put in all the notes for that contact.
You'll be able to see that in one of the upcoming qgvdial builds.

I can try to provide a feature like this: If I detect a number in those notes, I will try to provide a "link" from that number in the notes display area. So if you mouse-over, it will look like a link in a browser. If that link is clicked, it will load that number into the Dialpad. You can then Call / Text that number if that is what you intended.

btw, this linking idea is just what I thought of a moment ago, I don't know if it is even possible or how to do it.
I'll try, lets see what I can manage.
