Does anyone use this? If you are juggling 3 diffrent phone numbers or want some peace and quiet this is absolutly the coolest techy thingy i have seen in a long time.

it's more than that your phone rings and you can pick it up or eavesdrop on the voicemail like call screening at home, you can block people ect. Best of all if you have Tmo myfaves all of your calls are fr double E.

I wonder how long until the mobile telco's wise up and keep you from putting that in your buddy list.

What does the service cost?

Ah, I see. I was reading the user service agreement, which did mention billing.

I wonder if it will stay free.

Billing is for the Click to Call which is Voip. Google owns it and has stated that the service will remain free.

I will send invites via PM.

What I like:

The voicemail screening
web based VM
custom call groups
custom messages for call groups
free tmobile calls
it will ring multiple numbers

One feature I like with the multiple number thin is if I am in a Tmobile dead spot i can use a prepaid service that works in the area and still seamlessly get my calls.
