One Number, One Voicemail Box, So many Features.  So infrequently is a products tagline as much of an understatement as this! At first one my glance at this site and shrug it off as yet another google aquisition into the already troubled world of web based IP Telephony.  But a peek at the features list and you’ll quickly go WOW.

The most impressive and unusual feature that appeals to me is the call screening/blocking. send2spam.jpg
Not only can you send callers of your choice directly to voicemail, but you can also present them with “The number you’ve reached is no longer in service” or a customized message of your choice!  Check the “Send this number to SPAM” box and you’ll contribute to it’s spammers database so (by choice) you can sent all suspected spam callers to voicemail without manually entering their number!

I’ve been using GrandCentral several months now in conjunction with forwarding calls from my home phone to my cell.  GrandCentral has virtually eliminated all unwanted calls from disturbing me on the road.

But wait kids… that’s not all!  There’s much more!!!  You can add a call me button to your website, click2call from your address book, access visual voicemail from your mobile phone, transfer calls from your cell to your home or office number on the fly!  Just the tip of the iceberg!  Certainly on the must try list for anyone who uses the phone!

Now this is just plain old too fun!  Your driving down the highway on your long commute home and you spot some joker on a motorcycle wearing speedo’s and you just have to twitter about it!  Sure you can tweet via text messaging on your cell phone, but that’s not really too safe while your driving.. but if you signup up for SpinVox, you can just speed-dial their 1-888 number and your voice will be magically transformed into text and broadcast out to the world!

Not a twitter fan?  That’s okay, SpinVox currently works with Facebook and Jaiku as well as many blogs! 

I dont’ know how long this service will be free but it’s certainly a must-try while you can toy!
