When I tested this stuff out, I mostly used the GSM card in my laptop. 
Sending messages from Empathy to my personal phone worked fine; and 
sending messages from my phone to my laptop's number caused channels to 
pop up and show up in Empathy.

If you're sending messages behind Empathy's back, I could well believe 
that this wouldn't work. For instance, if you're driving an N900 over 
USB and send a message in the N900 UI, it doesn't show up as sent for 
telepathy-ring on your laptop.

That's more surprising. When I tested this, I got notification for 
incoming calls. They didn't work fully (they got stuck on Connecting…) 
but they definitely showed up.
