FreeGoogle app that links a new phone # to any phone

I came across this somewhere on the internet. It's called grandcentral.com
There is a waiting list to get on and it's free

Google just bought it and they give you a phone number with the area code of your choice and then they link that number to any number you'd like.

There are many different features, such as having all your conversations recorded, fowarding all calls to VM's, screening callers, and many others.

I have no affiliation with this website, I just thought it would be helpful to some people.

I may have a couple more invites left; I got a total of ten. If anyone would like one, please PM me. This way you won't have to be on the waiting list and will be able to register right away.

GrandCentral is a great tool. I know a lot of people using it and they are all happy with it.

I worked for a start up in 2000 called uReach.com. Unified messaging, that's what Grand Central looks like. uReach used to offer free trial accounts with your own 800 number. It's definitely a great type of service.

    For some reason, I can't find the tab where it says "invite your friends" They might have taken it down for some reason. You can still sign up and be put on the waiting list. It only took me around a week to get an e-mail asking me to sign up.

    If the tab comes back up and I am able to invite friends again, I will invite those who have PM'd me.

    Sorry!! :shock:

    Can those accounts be set up temporarily-- like to forward your calls from tenants to you while you are on vacation? So the tenants won't know you are out of town?

    Grandcentral will assign a number to you and when people call that number, it will be forwarded to any number you specify without them knowing. You could have it call your cell phone and business line/home line simultaneously and whichever phone you pick up first that is the line you will take the call on...

    Go on the website and check out all the features, they got some good ones.

    Does that explain your question PNW?
