8 Reasons Why GrandCentral is a Must-Have Tool for Your Startup, by Adam Chavez
The list of features from GrandCentral.com is pretty impressive. I first heard about the service from my friend Ethan. We were talking about how technology is changing almost everything about human productivity potential. He mentioned Grand Central, I looked it up; I was sold. I registered for my number and am now patiently waiting for them to allow me to use the service. Below are a list of features that I thought were especially cool. To check them out for yourself go here or here. Through your cell phone or a landline, you can:
1. Listen in while somebody is leaving a voicemail, then pick up mid-message.
2. Permanently block certain numbers (Say goodbye to telemarketers) and have any voicemail's from them go to a "spam" box.
3. Click a button anytime and begin recording the call live -- the call is then sent to your email inbox and stored online.
4. With webcall, you can let people call you from a website with the touch of a button. And they never see your number.
5. With the click of a button, switch between your cell phone and a landline (or vice versa) or between two cell phones, or whatever.
6. Receive voicemail notifications via email or SMS (this would be cool for messages that go to your landline while you're outside of the office).
7. Centralize all your numbers! One number will call any number you'd like. If you change jobs or move, you won't have to change numbers.
8. Received a voicemail that you need to share with a co-worker? No problem. Just forward the email with an attached sound file (mp3). Do you agree? Disagree? Let me know if there are better solutions out there. Have you had experience with a similar, paid service? Was it better?
