a cellular number

a skype account


here is what i would like to have happen. (note that i do not care about incoming calls to google, but only need it to mask my outbound calls with a different number and also use the google voice voicemail. while only using the data network)



to have my voicemail use the google voice system rather then tmobile. (so i *400*1408xxxxxxx# and it set that. so no problem on that)

to allow for me to start a call with google voice and have it be a total data call. so my guess is that i have to have the google voice set up to actually "call" my skype number, and then google voice will also call the other party i chose?! therefore actually being a skype call on the data network with google being the mediator/connector?
Your description is correct. Tell GV to call you back on your skype number and once you pick up on Skype, GV will dial the other side.
This way means that the other side will see your GV number on their caller ID.

This feature is going to be added to GV settings "soon" - I don't know when. Right now, for text messages, GV gives the option of using the caller ID of your GV number or the caller ID of one of your forwarding phones.

I'm in pretty much the same boat regarding pbxes.com - not sure what it achieves and how it will help me.
