Find Me Anywhere (Grand Central)

This is hardly new news, but in my quest to consolidate everything in the past few weeks, this seems like the perfect item to start with. Grand Central happens to be a very cool service I've been using for the past few months. For someone that has five home phone lines, two desk phones, a cell phone and any number of test phones getting in contact with me can be challenging (provided I even want to answer in the first place). Wouldn't it be nice have one phone number for me? Enter:



Grand Central (http://www.grandcentral.com) does just that. Now, I have one phone number that I can set to ring all may phones at once. There is no calling my office phone, then my home phone and finally trying my cell. Brilliant concept, proof that simplicity is still the answer!

Besides the most obvious plus of only having one phone number, there are tons of other features. Check them out for yourself, but there are lots of them. The one that makes me laugh the most is the ability to screen the calls with the bonus of blocking that person you met at the bar who won't stop calling you with a "the phone has been disconnected" message. I can't imagine one nerd at Google having that problem, but hey, at least they are looking out for the rest of us ;)

How about this for a feature, call me, for free! Click below, type in your phone number, Grand Central will call your phone, then will call me and connect us. Completely anonymous.


Kinda cool, huh?

Definitely, Grand Central has been one of the more useful products I've found recently. It seems like Grand Central goes through cycles of how quickly you can "reserve" a number for yourself. My wait was only a couple of days. Give it a try, I'm finding new uses for it everyday, and the price is right...Free!
