There is a thread discussing the merits of Grandcentral elswehere, figured we could keep this thread to invites only.
Unlike joost, this service is actually useful. I use it all the time for my craigslist/ebay transactions. Credit card companies/etc all get my GC number. I love listening in on my voicemeail to see who it is first, then deciding whether or not to answer it.
Obviously if you're anti-capitalism/google/etc you won't want one, but for those of you that do, ask in here.
from GC:
What is GrandCentral?
Get all the same calls, but in a whole new way.
GrandCentral doesn't replace your phones; we just link them together and help them do more. How do we do that? We give people One Number...for Life- a number that's not tied to a phone or a location - but tied to you.
With GrandCentral, you can be reached with a single number, answer a call at any phone you want, seamlessly switch phones in the middle of a call, and even know whether a call is important before you take it.
What else can I do with GrandCentral?
We're not your typical phone company. And these aren't your typical features.
* Check your messages by phone, email, or online
* Keep all your messages online for eternity
* Record and store your phone calls (just like voicemail)
* Quickly (and secretly) block an annoying caller
* Click-to-dial from your address book
* Surprise your callers with a custom voicemail greeting
* Forward, download, and add notes to your messages
