This may be old news to some of you - but it's a site that I just learned about in the last couple of weeks so I thought I'd share it with you. GrandCentral is a company that has recently been acquired by Google (that should tell you something about the site right there - Google doesn't buy companies that don't have something special to offer). The site offers users a FREE centralized phone number. You can then set-up your Grand Central account to ring any of your phones - cell, home, work, etc. - when that one centralized phone number is called. You can also set up the site to screen your calls for you, route different calls to different numbers depending on who's calling, get voicemail that you can listen to over the web, and even play the 'this number has been disconnected' message when you get called by telemarketers or someone you don't want to talk to. It's pretty powerful and I haven't even explored all the features that the site has!Britney and I were talking about it this weekend and thought of another pretty cool use for the site. If you have friends, relatives, etc. in another state, sign up for a number that's local to those people. They can call the local number and the site will forward the call on to you - at no cost!
Up until recently, the site has been closed to new users. Last week they opened it up for everyone, so go get your number before they're all gone. Sign-up link is HERE.
