Finally I am having a chance to test out and review the limited beta service. Grand Central provides you one number by integrating all existing phones, numbers, and voicemail boxes into one and you can use a pretty simple website to manage all your calls and messages. One REALLY impressive spin-off to this service is their community outreach program called Project CARE (Communications and Respect for Everybody) recognizes the desire for those in need to get back on their feet and begin a new life. An essential element to that proposition is a consistent and reliable phone number – a place where anyone (family, friends, social workers, health care providers, potential employers, etc.) can leave you a message. Thru the service individuals receive a local phone number and voicemail box for life to members of the homeless community in San Francisco. They hope to extend this program nationwide as they build out.
Here is a sample of the voice mail that was sent to my phone number.
