Features:

PhonePlus Callback is an amazing utility for (G1) Android users. Say you’re busy on a call, your other line rings, it allows you to easily send an SMS Text message and set a call back reminder via notification, popup or email with a single tapp. Sending a message like:

I see your call. I am busy at the moment. I will call you back shortly.

Even better, you can set you own pre-drafted messages! There are plenty of settings you can configure as well.

Here are a few feature you get with the Pro version:

• Create your own two new custom messages in addition to customizing the
  four that are out-of-the-box
• Bluetooth headset support
• Send-directly-to-Voicemail flag on a contact; calls from these contacts will not pop up our app
• Silent mode on callback reminder notifications

Usefulness:

PhonePlus Callback can prove very useful, especially for busy individuals.

Ease of Use:

Reading the instructions on Automatic/Manual modes makes using the app a breeze, therefore we’ve included the instructions below:

Tips on using Callback Mode Automatic/Manual:

Callback Mode Automatic

When you press the “Will Call Later” button on an incoming  call, set a callback reminder, and automatically send the caller an I’ll call you back asap message via SMS text message. If the call is from a mobile number in your contacts, or by email if you have an email address for the caller in your contacts.

Callback Mode Manual

If you press “Will Call Later” button, just set a callback reminder but do not send a message. If you press “Text” or “Email” message, set a reminder and send a Text or Email message to the caller. Green background on the Text button means call is from a mobile in your contacts. Red means it is from a landline in your contacts. Yellow means the number is not in your contacts and may or may not be mobile. 

Frequently Used:

PhonePlus Callback is intended to be used with every call. Gripe Alert: in testing it, we’ve found… if you answer a call that PhonePlus Callback displays on, talk and hang up, the app is still displayed. It should go away as you have chosen to speak with the caller versus sending them a call back notification.

Interface:

The app tags along the below of the caller ID window and not obtrusive.
