Google Voice — Formerly GrandCentral
A while ago, Google bought GrandCentral, but then we haven’t heard anything from them until now. GrandCentral is emerging as Google Voice. It is Google’s way of letting you do more with your phone calls. You can, for example, have one phone number that will ring both your home phone and your cell phone. You can get voice mails transcribed and emailed to you. You get conference calls, and much more. It is all free.
Lifehacker has a first look at Google Voice giving you a good overview of what to expect once Google Voice opens to the public in the next few weeks.
