Oh, and check out GrandCentral (by Google). It is simply amazing. Google has really outdone themselves (and I didn't think that was possible). There are 2 basic features I'm waiting on before I totally commit and start handing out my GC#, but I highly recommend you check it out and see what you think. Some of the features are simply amazing, for instance:
- One number rings ALL your phones
- Set contacts to only ring to selected phones
- Switch phones (while on a call)
- Web-based voicemail, just click play
- Custom ringtones/calltones, per contact
- Listen to voicemails live, answer if you want
- Record entire conversations, listen later on the web
- Gizmo integration, use your computer as one of the phones
- Many, MANY, more awesome features
The two things that are holding me back currently are text messages and a little thing Chuck thought about with the voicemails... what if you're "off the grid" and you miss a call? You'll likely have access to your phone way before you have access to your Grand Central inbox. How do you get those voicemails? I can't find anywhere that says you can dial your GC# and check your VMs, but surely that will be a feature soon. Thanks for the comment, Craig. So I'm just waiting on text messages!
In short, go ahead and reserve your number now. If you don't get accepted into the beta, let me know, I have a couple invites left.
(Thanks to Davis C. for the post title, genius lol)
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhn Porkchop.
ReplyDeleteJust dial your grandcentral number from any phone, and when you hear your greeting, press the STAR key and then enter your PIN. You'll get all your voicemail from any phone.
ReplyDeleteAlso, if you call your GC number from your Cell (and its labeled as a cell in your forwarding numbers), it will drop you directly into voicemail.
