Say, I only have internet (no sim card, no other phone around). And I want to make phone calls using Google Voice. I want to be able to use my N900 to make calls over the internet like what I can do on the computer. Is there such an app?

TIA

I was hoping that with the new Google Talk Phone Call thing coming out, it would be possible to directly make Google Talk Calls on the N900, but it's apparently not working. Don't know why.

Last I heard (my info is a month or two old), you couldn't do it via Gmail, b/c there's a software plug-in that needs to be installed & Google hasn't done one that will work on our Maemo devices. And Google hasn't yet created an API that would allow third-party programs to invoke this functionality. So, no, but you're not the only one waiting eagerly for this functionality!

you can't do this with google voice and not sure you will ever be able to, but you can use sip in this use case

sipgate or skype can work for this, I use both with DIalcentral and TOR.

If its cheaper for a SIP provider / Skype to have out-bound only calls then I believe qgvdial supports that model of GV calls. I've not yet gotten working with DC/TOR (I do things in a slightly different way and have not been able to invest the time to rectify them).

As everyone before me has pointed out, you need to have a SIP or skype account with a usable outgoing number.
I have two SIP accounts (gizmo5 and sipgate) and skype with a valid number.
Callback to these accounts works from three applications: "TheOneRing", "Dial Central" and "qgvdial", callout works in qgvdial.

Call out works for any voip (skype/sip) in which your callerID is set correctly and matches the information in your Google voice phone settings. Gizmo callouts have _never_ worked for me - I am guessing thats because the callerID of the gizmo account makes Google voice think that it isn't an acceptable number (or something).

Also: From random reports on the Intarwebs, I heard that Pidgin on Linux can receive incoming Google Voice calls on gtalk accounts. I have not checked this out, but if it is true, then I wonder why it wouldn't work even with Pidgin on Maemo and also the telepathy handlers in Linux and Maemo.

researching a little more on this, here are some interesting bits for anyone running their own servers(asterisk or freeswitch)
