Great New Website: Offering Free Phone Numbers..

If you haven't heard about the latest craze in phone dialing you might be missing out. I'm talking about GrandCentral.com. What is GrandCentral.com all about, you ask? The technology is very interesting but most importantly it's also free. Let's talk the basics first: GrandCentral.com will set you up with a free phone number in your area code ( no need to give out your real numbers now). This phone number can then be used to connect with you wherever you might be. Here is an example, it would call your cell, then your home, then your work. Even better, it has a voicemail feature where you can listen to your message as the voice mail is left. Of course the voicemail is available online. Another feature: If someone calls you say on your home phone, press the * and your cell phone rings. Pick up your cell and continue the conversation on your way out. You can also set up rings that can be assigned to important callers. As if that wasn't enough you can put a button on your website where people can contact you right of your website. The GrandCentral Team consists of 3 people: Craig Walker, Founder and CEO who was formerly the CEO of Dialpad which was acquired by Yahoo! in 2005.Vincent Paquet, Founder and COO,formerly the VP of Business Development and Marketing for Dialpad. The third is Don Fletcher, PhD., CTO who was a leading industry consultant in the telecommunications arena.You can read a little about the history here.
