here are a couple of screen shots.
1 from the dialer, where i can select to make the call with my gvoice account, but all it does is start to dial, then cancel the call, then my gv account calls me and calls the other party....so it is using my minutes and not my data.
1 from the contacts, to show, that i can make a gv call (which does what i described above) to any number that i have in as a phone/cell/etc, but only has an option to IM that party's gv account, and not call from my gv to thier gv.
the only way i can get it to give the option to call thier gv account is to enter it in the GV option and also as an additional phone number (i choose a non-cellular option so that it does not give the option for sms)

so here is what i have, if you would please coach me, it would be much appreciated.
a cellular number
a google voice account
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?
to allow so that my outbound call actually shows a different number then what my google voice number is. ie-if my google voice number is 4085551212 and when i make a call through the google voice, i want the caller id to show on the other parties device as 4086662323.
it was suggested to me that i use https://www.pbxes.com and make that work...but i could not figure it out.
thank you for your work and continued support on this project!

I know it can be kind of confusing but I wonder if you are mixing the two up. By default if you have a contact with a regular phone number, a single GV button should appear. When you have a GV contact, both buttons appear. If you merge a GV contact with a system contact or add a GV number to a system contact, then I guess 3 buttons would appear which looks like what you are seeing.

2. then register with IPKall and get an actual US Number that eventually calls you callcentric number
3. Setup a sip VOIP account and configure your callcentric SIP.
4. Setup ur GVoice such that your call back number is this IPKall US number
5. Now if you initiate a call via gv. It disconnects and calls your SIP. and then connects your SIP to destination- which what i believe you're after, right?
Instead of IPKall you can opt for Skype In or something like that. Only difference is that you actually pay for others, where as it is free for IPKall!!

As we have mentioned, there is a free alternative (if you aren't already paying for skype-in) by using sipgate. You can create an account on that site. You then get from them both a regular phone number to connect google voice and SIP credentials to setup a SIP account on your n900. It would then work the same./

). I could possibly popup a banner but I dislike sidestepping the IM/Call framework.
