Grand Central - located at http://www.flickr.com/photos/etobicokesouth/550463229/sizes/l/ by *Muhammad*'s

A few days ago I signed up for a beta for grand central.com. I had seen this site mentioned on a few blogs including Blogger Buzz and BlogNewChannel. I’m not sure how it works, but I know I like it.  It’s a neat concept of having one phone number that takes your incoming calls and rings all the phones that you specify at the same time. It screens calls and allows you to block people and numbers. It is pretty customizable with grouping callers into different categories have each category going to a different phone.  You can even make custom voice mail messages for each contact.  There is a bunch of other customizations and some I haven’t tried yet.  It seems like a nice concept though one downside seems you can’t get phone numbers in every area that one might want.  At the main site you can sign up and wait to be invited or I found this link on the blogs mentioned above that was suppose to be for bloggers but it works for anyone who wants to sign up.  Apparently, Goggle had purchased them some time ago which is not something I knew Goggle had done.  I’m not out advertising for Grand Central but I thought was a neat concept and one I had actually tried.
