No email yet

Haven't gotten the email yet, but I have been enjoying the service for a few years now. It's nice having a
"throwaway" number I can give out.

Hopefully incoming calls remain free!

Phone to email !!!

According to the NYT article, GV will have the feature I've always wanted:

quote:
From now on, you don’t have to listen to your messages in order; you don’t have to listen to them at all. In seconds, these recordings are converted into typed text. They show up as e-mail messages or text messages on your cellphone.

Yes. I have been using it the same way. A nice way to give out a phone number you don't want to be bothered with but still get msgs if necessary.

Some see this as another privacy problem. Because the transcribed voice msgs will be searchable, they see it as another attempt by Google to invade your privacy and serve up more ads.

Re: No email yet

i dont have an email, but when i signed into "grandcentral" it has a banner saying i'm not ready to upgrade yet and to check the blog. I've had this number for quite a while, and originally i never used it. I havent had a problem with any call quality. One thing I do love is the retention of the messages.

It's true, it is. (See my post here.) I don't see how we can have this tech without this downside. Hopefully at least the same feature will be available from multiple providers.
