Re: Can someone explain Grand Central?
I'll try, although I'm a *VERY* new user myself.
GC provides you with a local incoming phone number at virtually any location in the country which you choose, gratis. It then allows you to manipulate that number in novel and unique ways, like to forward received phone calls to other numbers, even if they would otherwise be long distance.
If a person wishes to have a phone number forever, even if they physically move elsewhere, GC lets you keep the same number.
If you travel, you can have your calls follow you, and this configuration is done on a website after you log in.
Example: You live in San Diego, go visiting to New York. You forward your San Diego number to your Cell till you get to NY, then forward it to where you're staying. Or you have the phone ring in MULTIPLE locations/devices. There is also much more possible. See website for details.
Example2: I have local GC number, but change VoIP provider. I merely use GC number to forward calls to my ever-changing incoming VoIP provider. My callers never know I keep changing providers, as they keep calling the same number.
Perhaps other will elaborate for us as well.
