GrandCentral - One Number fo Life

GrandCentral is a Google owned service that uses VoIP to link a customer's phone numbers together. Simply stated, you get a free phone number ("for life") , coupled with a web-based unified communications platform that allows you to to forward calls to another number, ring multiple numbers simultaneously, and provides voice mail.

While it doesn't have all the functionality of a virtual PBX, the price is right: it is currently free. And it works.

I've been trying it out for a while and felt comfortable enough to make it the publicly listed phone number for my business. When I'm mobile, I forward the number to my cell phone. When I am at home, it is forwarded to my VoIP phone line. When at a client site, it is forwarded to the most convenient desk phone.

When I can't answer the phone, a voice mail is emailed to me.
