I think my problem had to do with my wireless connection. Do you need an internet connection to make calls with TOR?

The problem with confusing these two fields (by the users AND apparently the programmer, Mr. Page) is that when you send SMS with this app, it uses the screen name as ID which if a call back number is used (as you are suggesting one should) then a call back number that is unfamiliar for the receiving end will be shown.
In other words, when I am texting someone, I would like them to see my number as GV number, but they see an unknown callback number (to them) which I am forced to use as screen name by your design. When I put my GV number as screen name, of course nothing works even if I have the correct callback number in the forward field.
The forward number should be what it says, i.e., callback number. And the screen name should be able to take any string as in username, alias, or at least GV number as a caller ID.
I think my problem is caused because I'm only allowed to sms to a 'cell' number, and all my contacts are 'google voice' numbers... How is it you sms?

You have a button per form of communication (SMS button, GV button, GTalk IM button, etc)
From conversations app: "Send IM To..." lets you select a contact according and I think protocol.

You've been really helpful, thank you! I think I only have one more problem--
It seems to think every contact I import is a google voice number, instead of a cell or home number. One of my GV contacts, for example, had 2 cells and one house number, but it imported as 3 different contacts, and lost the cell vs home information. Is this an error with my inputting the google contact in the first place, or maybe a TOR setting I could change?

Great apps you have created, but still having trouble with once in while getting the network error cannot connect. Before I would go into the advance settings hit done and save and it would be all good. Now it seems that nothing I do will bring itback online for much longer periods of time; 5 sometimes 15 minutes, thank goodness for DC. So what is everyone doing to get it back faster?
(More characters to make the forum overlords happy)
qgvdial: Google Voice client. All downloads
qgvtp: Phone integration for the n900 that dials out and sends texts using qgvdial.
mosquitto: message broker that implements the MQ Telemetry Transport protocol version 3.
qgvnotify: Google voice and contacts notifier for diablo and maemo.
