FINALLY!
Thursday, March 15, 2007
I've got two cells phones, an office phone, a Skype number, a Gizmo number, and yes even a home phone although I honestly don't know that number at the moment. I know that I am a little out of the ordinary when it comes to the number of numbers I have, but a lot of folks have at least three these days.
So my Skype is forwarded to my cell, unless I'm in Second Life. And one cell is forwarded to the other, unless I'm doing something with the kids and don't want to have a $600 cell phone with me, in which case the forwards are reversed. And the office line is never forwarded.... nor answered.
Then, thanks to a tip from Mike McGuff, I checked out GrandCentral.com - problem solved.GrandCentral gives you a "phone number for life." In its simplest form, anyone can call that number and all of your phones ring at the same time. If you don't answer, GrandCentral will then take the message and email it to you, post it to your account on their site, and even send you and SMS to let you know it's there.
But it gets better. You can group all of your contacts and have each group ring to specific phones. You can even have different greetings for each group.
Need to switch phones? Hit the * button and GrandCentral will ring all your other phones so you can switch (ie. from a bad Skype connection to a good cellular connection) without losing the call.
There is a bunch more to it all, and its still in (free!) beta so I'm sure there are some bugs. So far, so good for me though... great service!
