College Freebie #11: GrandCentral

GrandCentral - The new way to use your phones

What is GrandCentral?
Get all the same calls, but in a whole new way.

GrandCentral doesn't replace your phones; we just link them together and help them do more. How do we do that? We give people One Number...for LifeTM - a number that's not tied to a phone or a location - but tied to you.

With GrandCentral, you can be reached with a single number, answer a call at any phone you want, seamlessly switch phones in the middle of a call, and even know whether a call is important before you take it.

What else can I do with GrandCentral?
We're not your typical phone company. And these aren't your typical features.

• Check your messages by phone, email, or online
  
• Keep all your messages online for eternity
  
• Record and store your phone calls (just like voicemail)
  
• Quickly (and secretly) block an annoying caller
  
• Click-to-dial from your address book
  
• Surprise your callers with a custom voicemail greeting
