GrandCentral Launches Beta Program at DEMOfall '06
SAN DIEGO, Sept. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- GrandCentral Communications, Inc.
(http://www.grandcentral.com), a next-generation personal communications company,
today launched the beta program of its flagship GrandCentral product at
DEMOfall '06. GrandCentral provides people with One Number ... for Life(TM)
-- a telephone number that is not tied to a particular phone or location --
but to a person. It is a unified communications service for consumers that
integrates all existing phones, numbers, and voicemail boxes into one and
gives subscribers unprecedented control over how incoming calls are managed
through a simple, Web-based interface.
"There is a clear need for GrandCentral," stated DEMO Executive
Producer Chris Shipley. "I manage a half-dozen phone numbers between my
home, work, cell phone, pager and others. It's a chore to keep up with
everything when you never know who's calling which number. GrandCentral's
'one number for life' is a much needed solution to a problem that gets more
complicated as we connect with more people across various communication
mediums. I'm delighted to introduce GrandCentral at DEMOfall!"
GrandCentral enables consumers to easily manage and personalize all of
their voice communications. Consumers can now control where and how people
reach them, save and organize their messages, and customize greetings and
ring-back tones for different callers. GrandCentral users can also
ListenIn(TM) on callers before taking calls, record their calls at the
touch of a button and seamlessly switch calls between all of their phones.
From now on, users will never miss a call they want to take, or take a call
they want to miss. The service works with all existing phones and service
providers.
"Voice communications has gotten out of control. People are either
juggling too many phone numbers and voicemail boxes, or they are becoming
overly reliant on their cell phones and getting interrupted too often with
unimportant calls. There needs to be a service that makes sense of this
mess and gives the user the power to control how they are reached, where
they are reached and by whom," said Craig Walker, CEO of GrandCentral
Communications. "In a perfect world, we would have only one number at which
we could be reached, could answer a call at any phone we wanted, and could
know whether a call was important before taking it. The GrandCentral
solution does just this."
