TechCrunch just announced the release of GrandCentral Mobile. GrandCentral helps you manage all of your phones from one number by letting you forward calls, create personalized caller greetings, screen calls live, record your calls, and manage your voice mail from a single account. GrandCentral mobile, now lets you do that on the go.
The new version is not a downloaded application, but works through your WAP browser. From within the mobile optimized site, you can manage your call notifications, call forwarding, contact list, place a call, and visually manage your voice mail (a really useful feature coming out on the iPhone and supported by GotVoice). You will also be able to set your cell phone’s voice mail to forward calls to your GrandCentral phone number.
Offering mobile service from the git go, that is, without first having an account with and initially going through, for example, Verizon, at considerable cost for many minutes/month, would be wonderful. The other services it offers would be just the icing on the cake for me. I’m retired, and would very much like a much less expensive VOIP mobile service. Also, I already have and like Grand Central. It is quite good. Good luck. Frank.
