GrandCentral was known as a free service for US residents that gives user a permanent local phone number that all other numbers (office, mobile, etc..) can forward to. The basic idea of GrandCentral is, one phone number for all your phones. As we change jobs, homes and cell phones, there are a lot of phone numbers to keep track of, and keeping everyone up to date with your most recent phone numbers is a real cost. If you use GrandCentral you can give out a single phone number.Google acquired GrandCentral in 2007 for $50 millions.Google today relaunches the service and renamed to Google Voice. Google Voice is still in closed beta stage but the company expects to open the service up to the public within the coming weeks. Google Voice will be free to use and users will also be able to place free U.S. calls through the service. International calls can be made for a small fee (lower than Skype's or your wireless carrier) with credits purchased via Google CheckOut. Also, Google Voice will remain a solely U.S. based service.
