Can't make calls if you only have SIP and Skype phone lines without a Voice line #14

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
On my N900 I have a data plan, without voice plan from T-Mobile.
I have regular phone numbers for Skype and SIP.

When I pick a contact to call I hear a recording from T-Mobile saying that I am 
subscribed to that feature. Of course I don't have a voice plan from them. And 
call fails.

If I use the Google Voice on a PC, it call my N900 first and then I get 
connected to the party I am calling.

Can qgvdial be made to work with SIP and Skype numbers. I have 3 SIP phone 
lines and 1 Skype phone line on my N900. They all have New Jersey area codes.

I think qgvdial is trying to use the first phone line of the phone. In my case 
I never used the first phone line. I think it should check if there are other 
accounts marked with some flag that can make calls.

qgvdial *can* make use of your SIP and skype accounts. In fact the reason I 
wrote the software was because I didn't want to waste money on voice minutes.
On the dialer page in qgvdial, there is a drop down list of accounts that 
qgvdial has identified from the phone as well as the phone numbers it found 
associated with your Google Voice account.
The numbers it found from your GV account can be used for "dial back". Select 
one of these, make a call and GV will dial back to your number, and to the 
person who you were calling.
In that list there are other entries which start with the words "Dial out". 
These are the accounts qgvdial found on your phone that it can use in a more 
sophisticated way:
When you select one of the Dial outs and make a call, qgvdial will get an 
alternate number from the GV servers. It then auto-dials this number using the 
phone account selected. This new number is owned by GV, so when GV receives 
that call, it redirects it to the person you were calling. This method is more 
like the Android/iPhone/BB Google voice app. In fact it is more than the 
official app because the official app can only use the phone and not SIP or 
skype.

Try out the drop down box, tell me if that solves your problem.

No matter what I choose from DialBack drop down list, when I enter a number 
(with +1 or without), the screen changes and it says in yellow "Dialing 201 555 
5555" with a green OK button and a red Cancel Button. Regardless, hitting OK 
doesn't do anything. After two seconds the regular nokia phone app comes up and 
it says "Calling 551-333-9780" which is  my own GV number. On here, at the top 
left corner of the human sihluette instead of my usual SIP or Skype icons I see 
a blue phone icon.
Immediately a male voice from TMobile tells me that I am not subscribed to this 
service. In the meantime a message pops up saying "Sending DTMF tones".

Aah, I see. That's the "fallback mode". When the usual dialing method fails, 
this one kicks in. It uses the phone number to dial your google voice number 
and then tone dials the number you wanted.

I know I need to clear up the UI and settings but for the moment: can you send 
me an email with the qgvdial logs at /home/user/.qgvdial/qgvdial.log ?

Also another detail that I noticed today was that, I think bacause my phone got 
very slow for some reason, at the very end I saw a message saying "Fallback 
attempt failed".

Regarding your comment 3? I use Nokia Anna and can't use the dial out option. 
The application goes into the "fallback mode" with T-mobile operator saying, 
number can't be dialed. How to enable GV dial out? Thanks.
