Perhaps a check and prepend the "1" if missing. Or better yet a user option to prepend any number(s) the user wants. That way the user can select to add a "1" if needed or evena 1+area code if desired. Perhaps a check and if the number is less than 11 digits prepend the field.?
Hope that made sense.
And if I wasn't clear in my prevois post, I notice little to no impact on battery life.
(I believe you specifically already sent me logs about this. Sadly I've not seen anything yet).

The quickest way would be to check if there is a "+" at the beginning of the number, if not add "+1" otherwise leave it alone - I've used GV to call internationally and that needs the full international prefix.

My way of bypassing the OneRing's lack of contact support is... not using contacts
I use DialCentral to dial out.
It was a hassle scrolling through the contacts list starting from 'A' in DC (DC doesnt have search), but once my recently called list was populated, that hassle became less of an irritant.
Actually, I am evaluating how easy/difficult it is to completely get off a cellular network. My callback number is my SkypeIn number and I dont have a SIM in my n900.
I cheat a little bit because I use a Sprint mifi to keep me connected when I'm in the car.
OneRing and erminig-ng on a n900 are the three primary reasons I could let go of my BB Storm.
I have a skype-in number but I've heard a rumor that Skype is very bad on battery. Since I also have sipgate and SIP has worked fine for me, I've just used that (it was annoying to deal with two protocols ringing at once).

Code:
uglynumber = ... strip all but + and 0-9 ...
if uglynumber.startswith("+"):
pass
elif uglynumber.startswith("1") and len(uglynumber) == 11:
uglynumber = "+"+uglynumber
elif len(uglynumber) == 10:
uglynumber = "+1"+uglynumber
else:
pass

Thanks for the One Ring. One of the best apps I've installed on my n900. Anyway, just wondering why there is a disconnect when making outbound calls on One Ring and just a straight ringback on Dialcentral? I guess for those who used both that there is that confusion. Would it be possible for the OR to act as DC?
Also, I do get the "General Error" that some people experienced. Not a big deal, but when I do get it, I just hit dial again (without adding the 1) and the call goes through. I'm thinking that the 1 does not make any difference and that it just needs to be dialed again. Maybe someone can try it when getting that error.
Again, props to you and great job! Can't wait for the contact integration part

But thats not a OneRing problem.
Also if I use a number in my gv list to call another number in my gv list then my n900 does not transmit sound outbound. Dont know which component is at fault (n900 skype integration OR OneRing or GV).
