Need An Inexpensive Phone Answering System?

By Michelle Waters | January 10, 2008

How does free sound?

Google had introduced a “new” service called GrandCentral. It’s still in beta and currently free (not sure how much they will charge after beta), but what it does is gives you a local number and the ability to direct your phone calls to your cellphone, home or business line.

For example, I have added my family, friends and assistants to my address book. I’ve placed each of them into a group, and setup each group so that anyone in that group who calls me, is sent to one of my phones - and then if I don’t answer, they recieve one of my voicemail messages.

Even better, I can login to the site on my computer, listen to the messages, email a response or start a call.

The way you call through the computer is pretty nifty. This afternoon, I was on the phone with Steph and decided to try this out. I clicked the call button next to my husband’s name and number. A window opened up asking me which phone I want to call from. I selected my cellphone.

A moment later, my cellphone rang. I answered it and shortly thereafter heard the the sound of ringing in my cellphone. Moments later my husband’s phone started to ring.

Cool huh?

Wanna see the other neat features? Just go to GrandCentral.com.

Now, this service is by invitation only. So, if you want to try it out, you’ll need to link to this post from another blog. Then post a comment below with your link and email address.
