GrandCentral
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
GrandCentral is an internet service that uses VoIP to link a customer's phone numbers together. Customers can create an account on the service's website, give their existing phone numbers, and choose a central phone number; whenever that number is called, all of the customer's numbers ring at once, and the customer can pick up any of the phones to talk to the caller. The site also offers centralized voicemail, which can be checked from the website or through a phone, as well as numerous other services, including call screening and name-based caller ID from a customer's contact list, blocking of numbers (including automatic blocking of telemarketer numbers in their database), call recording, mp3 ringtones for callers, the ability to switch lines during a call, and different voicemail greetings based on the caller.
The service was founded in 2005 by Craig Walker and Vincent Paquet and is currently undergoing beta testing.
