In theory you could create a plugin (telepathy connection manager)
that registers for TEL fields.  It would then proxy all of the calls
to the real connection manager, tweaking the number being sent by a
given prefix.

I'm unsure how troublesome this would be.  Some parts of
Telepathy/RTComm can be ... finicky.  Just checking out The One Ring's
top bugs shows random issues with changing internet connections, calls
failing, and not being registered with the TEL field.

I've previously posted on here about the TEL field
(SecondaryVCardFields).  I got response back to try a tweak to one of
my settings files or register through DBus.  The settings file tweak
didn't work and I've been too lazy to either write python bindings for
libmcclient, write it in C, or read libmcclient's source to write it
directly with dbus.
