Location: Central Massachusetts | I know there's some computer/telco geeks around here.. anybody here toying with www.grandcentral.com at all?
The concept is that you get a single phone number for life, and you have complete control over where it rings, even having it ring multiple places simultaneously. It also includes bottomless voicemail with all sorts of interesting features such as screening, and custom announcements based on incoming phone number.
Anyway, if anybody has an account, I'd love an invite to try it myself, please PM me. They've switched to an invitation-only beta now that they've been acquired by Google.
If you have no idea what I'm talking about, forget you ever saw this and go back to playing your Ovation! :)
Thanks! |

Hey if you ever decide to upgrade to iLife '08, let me know and I can help you with the Personal Domain feature and you can get rid of all that mac.com/jeffwhitehead cruft. |

Location: Central Massachusetts | Hi LBJ, this only works with US phone numbers.. not sure about "behind ;" but if you're still interested send me a PM with your email address and I'll get an invite out to you.
Waskel, you're probably right, but who knows.. with Google's infrastructure, this may be Beta forever. ;) If not, I'll probably dump it when they start charging. Fun to play with for now, though. |
