Hmmm well as of right now I don't have a data plan, just AT&T's gophone plan. I'll be in college with wi-fi everywhere so there's very few occurrences where I might need to use my phone offline. If I get, say, ~20mb a month, would that be sufficient for texting/initiating callbacks? I'll only need to use it maybe once or twice a week for a few hours.

Thats really hard to say - Its true that TOR uses very little data when making a call, but the periodic updates will suck up data.
Other than that, I think the major data usage should be during login, so changing network connections may be a bad idea...

Thoughts Ed ?
Correct, if the features being polled for are not wanted they can be disabled. Otherwise I would recommend Dialcentral.
iirc, fcrochik's MyContacts is able to dial out using the users GV pin using DTMF.
True, but it's literally calling the GV #, submitting the DTMF for the PIN and menu options, and then the phone #. (You can hear the entire process if you listen to it).

Absolutely correct, but the reason I posted that was because of this post.
feuxfollets wanted to know if there was a way to NOT use data while using GV.
True. But you don't need mycontacts to do that. You can just put the entire string with PIN and numerical presses in the contacts.
... and that requires me to update all my contacts with my gv number and pin!
btw: I did not know that it was possible to put pauses into the phone number. How do you put a pause for a specific number of seconds?
Even if I don't do it for GV, I sure would like to do that for my webex conference calls.
