Receive calls on your blog at Blogger.com


Grand Central


Blogger has introduced a new feature today, now you can receive and make calls for free with GrandCentral. This service is in private beta, but Blogspot bloggers can get a free account immediately.


GrandCentral has been acquired by Google. GrandCentral is a service that allows you to manage all your phone numbers and your phones. They give you one phone number, which will forward to other phones when you receive a call.


GrandCentral has some useful features, people can leave you voicemails without seeing your number, you can screen calls, block unwanted callers, record calls, record greeting messages and many more features.


GrandCentral has some limitation is available only in America, you can’t have more that one phone number per account, the service doesn’t support conference calling or using the number as a fax number. They are working to add more feature to this service, but at least in beta testing the service is free. You can read more on their blog.


The problem with GrandCentral is that Google will know exactly where you live, what is your phone number, who you call and what are you talking about. One of the features is recording calls, what will stop them to record all your phone calls, nothing.



I personally don’t thrust them.
