GrandCentral, a recent Google acquisition, is giving away phone number redirects to Americans, totally free, without needing an invite. Outside of pushing calls to one number out to your other lines (mobile, work, home, etc.), you also get a wealth of other features, like call recording, phone switching, customized greetings, and it even offers a really slick visual voicemail box for BlackBerry. Normally you need to get an invite, so anyone down south should definitely sign up. Sounds like a sweet deal – too bad I’m in Canada…

I doenloaded Grand Central and it works so far. Don’t have any positives or negatives yet. Our phones have been silent all morning. I will be the first to let you know though. Doc Hunter
Wow!! I signed up right away. It didn’t pick a city too close to me, but since post people have unlimited long distance now on home and mobile lines it doesn’t matter. What ROCKS about this is that it allows unlimited free calling to Canada. I have been waiting for a good free tool that works for a long time. I’ve tried several mobile sites and a few BB apps too but nothing was as good as this. Just add Canadian numbers to your contacts list, use your BB browser to select them, and call away! Finally from my BB I have a way to call Canada for free, unlimited. Since I’m on T-Mobile’s unlimited UMA-WiFi calling on my 8320, I’m free to Canada and unlimited minutes too. Thanks so much for the tip!
GC has been a source of steady telemarketing calls. Fun!
It does work as advertised.
Haven’t you heard of the donotcall.gov? I added my GrandCentral number. I haven’t received any spam calls.
And there went that, they shut down the signup, it’s now invite only.

Someone invite me? Thanks many!
Could someone please send me a Grand Central invite once the service becomes available again? I’ve been patiently trying to get one since I first heard about the service. I’m in the process of trying to start a business, and this would help heaps.
