Should the else statement be at the same indent as the if? I am really new to programming in general and this is the first python script I've tried to work with, so forgive me if I'm ignorant to something. I've tried it both ways. If I try it with the else at the same indent as the if, nothing happens until I hangup from the phone I'm calling from, when I get an exception from dbus. If I try it the way you have here, nothing happens at all. I tried putting some print statements in after the 

obj = bus.get_object( "org.freesmartphone.ogsmd", "/org/freesmartphone/Device/GSM" ) 

and it never gets to that print statement when the else statement is at the indent level in your snippet.

The exception I get when I put the else statement at the same level as the if statement is (This only happens when I manually hang up from either the calling end or the receiving (neo) end:

ROR:dbus.connection:Exception in handler for D-Bus signal:
