Can you hear me now ?

by Jeff Christman

I just received and invite for a very interesting service. GranndCentral.com

GrandCenteral was recently acquired by Google and the premise is that you have a single phone number that you can redirect to any of your other phones such as cell, work and home.

I have been wanting something like this for awhile. Being a contractor, I am hesitant to give out my home phone and my cell phone number changes with every new cell phone I get.

Just some of the feature include”

  • Screen Callers
    Know who’s calling and screen unknown callers

    ListenIng
    Hear why someone is calling before taking the call

    Call Record
    Record calls on the fly and access recordings online

    Block Callers
    Unwanted callers won’t be able to reach you anymore

    Notifications
    Receive voicemail notifications via email or SMS

    Ring Different Phones
    One number that rings different phones based on who’s calling

    Greetings
    Personalize your voicemail greetings by caller or group

    RingShare
    Go beyond the ring and choose ringback tones for your callers

    WebCall Button
    Let people call you from a web page without showing your number

    CallSwitch
    Switch phones in the middle of a call

    Click2Call
    Call from your addressbook and save your typing

    Mobile Access
    Visual voicemail for your mobile phone

  • I already have setup my services and I will be writing a full review next month to let you know how the services are. However, I do have some invite available.

    So send me your e-mail if you like to try before my review.
