I just signed on with Grand Central and so far it looks pretty cool.

Is there anyone else out there using it?

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 LifeTM - 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

I've been using it for a while now. The only downsides that I have found are you can't convert your current number to a grand central number so you have to send out the mass "I've changed my number" email to all the FnF. That sucks for someone like me who's had the same cell number for almost 10 years now. The other thing I don't like is that when I dial out people still see the caller id of the number I'm dialing from. it would be awesome if it was totally seamless. Either way I like the fact that I can have one number ring my cell, my skype number, and my work number so I can be reached no matter where I'm at. Pretty cool stuff. I just wonder how much longer it will be free and how much they will start charging for it when that happens.
