It said I had some but wouldn't tell me what they were.  I certainly 
wouldn't have deliberately done that.  Bastards. I cleared them, which 
seemed to allow me to use the 'phone' part.  I wonder if I'll have to do 
this process again if I choose to use the hangouts dialer again... 
Probably :-(

I really hate the way google insists on controlling everything.  I want 
different accounts for different purposes, but it really WANTS me to do 
everything with one account and I have to go to a lot of trouble to NOT 
do that.

I know, how much did I pay for it blablablabla...
