While we're on the subject have you by any chance figured out how the Android app creates unique numbers for contacts? I have a feeling that it is similar to this 406 number thing.
I ask because most users aren't going to have the patience or tenacity to find out the 406 numbers for their contacts.
How will you handle contacts that have multiple numbers? I think there needs to be something like the following that lets you map numbers to 406 numbers:

Code:
GV=253-752-6589=406-215-9856>
GV=253-752-5896=406-223-5896
(I just made that up, there is probably a better way).

I am pretty sure the android app using a special method that google created to get the 406 numbers, that we don't have access to unfortunately.

Make sure that these are only used when direct dialing though.
