One phone number world wide! from Google.

As we change our locations, job or phone service; there are many people we need to inform and update about our new phone number. Many times old numbers are connected with business records, finance records and government records. What will be the solution for this to make life better?

Take this case, You have a landline and couple of cell phones. What if you want to receive a call on landline only when you are home? What if you want to receive a call on your cell phone one when you are in office? And what if you want to receive a call on some other cell phone when you are out of town?

And what happens when a person calls particular number depends on his/her relationship to you, and what you are doing at the time?

What if we have one phone number for all your phones, for life? This is the basic idea behind ‘GrandCentral’, telecom management startup acquired by Google in july this year. Whenever, your GrandCentral number called, your chosen phone ring. You can choose a phone based on the time of the day.


GrandCentral has a web interface and also available on mobile. There you can manage your all call routing and access to voicemails. It also provide various other services like caller id, call block, call recording, call forward, switch line during call, voicemail greeting etc.

Currently, this service is in beta stage and has access to invites only. Did you get one?
