Update – Grand Central

After listening to David Pogue’s NY Times column podcast, I told you about Grand Central last May. There have been some changes.

The biggest change is that it is now owed by Google. So there is a lot of money behind it. They now also have have various ring tones that you can play for those callling. And you can use your headset to call via the web site. While in beta, those calls are free.

Other features that are of interest:
WebCall Button Let people call you from a web page without showing your number
(That is put a button on your web page to allow them to call you for free.)
CallSwitch – Switch phones in the middle of a call (Change from home phone to cell)
Click2Call – Call from your addressbook and save your typing
Mobile Access – Visual voicemail for your mobile phone (This adds visual voice mail to your smart phone. No iPhone needed.)

So check it out here.
