Some may lambaste the G1 users for their old, outdated hardware by poking fun of the user and phone itself. They laughed yesterday. You laugh today. T-Mobile USA G1 owners will be the first users on the magenta carrier to test out their new “Voice Plus Beta” service. Essentially it’s a much more complex and useful call manager type of setup. Features such as call divert, call defer, visual voicemail, and city ID are a few of the bigger features that are gaining attention.

So what exactly do the aforementioned features do?

  • Call Divert: Configure what numbers you want to skip the whole ring ring ring thing and go straight to voicemail.
  • Call Defer:Alerts callers that you’re busy and unable to answer ATM and schedules a later time in which to call back
  • City ID:This one’s kind of self explanatory. It basically just gives you more detailed information about who’s calling you.

Overall it’s a pretty nifty add-on to an already great carrier and service. Going from reader to actual user however will take a tad bit of plundering on your part. TMO isn’t just pushing this out to everyone. You’ll need to contact T-Mobile in the form of an email in order to get your name on the list of select users.

If you manage to get in, let us know how it is!
