Someone Called?... you're kidding.

 Linda called us today using the GrandCentral button at the top-right of the page. It was nice to hear from her, and nice to find the button really works.

The GrandCentral service has been more than useful for my travels. When I'm inside a hotel or room, I can have all the calls transfered to that phone, or set them to go straight to voice-mail. Or to my cell-phone the rest of the time.

When you use the button, you put in your phone number, then the GrandCentral service will call your phone, and connect you to my phone. This way, the phone call is effectivly free (unless your cell-service charges you for in-coming calls as well... which many do).

The GrandCentral Service also allows different settings for each phone number (and the web button calls seperate as well), so that I can set the web button to go to voice-mail, with its own message. My first thought was to use the web button as a way of Voice Posting messages and information, and also allowing visitors to the Eddie Cat Project page to post Voice Comments.

The GrandCentral Web Button defaults to keeping your phone number private; if you want me to call you back, then uncheck the privacy check-box, or be sure to put your phone number or other contact information in your voice message.
