For me, I forward my cell phone to it, so that I keep owning my number, but still get most of the benefits of the solution without any exposure of number lock-in. Granted, I live a life surrounded by phones, so I can afford such luxury. Using Grand Central for more than one person would be totally inappropriate. <BR/><BR/>But still, Grand Central isn't for everybody or everything. Big market out there - I happen to love what they've done.<BR/><BR/>ThomasThomas Howehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09328315895822849211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11834230.post-76523847546742002032007-06-07T18:44:00.000-05:002007-06-07T18:44:00.000-05:00Ever tried to port your number away from Grand Cen...Ever tried to port your number away from Grand Central?<BR/><BR/>What people need to realise is that having a central service with anyone apart from your own control 'ties' you to that vendor.<BR/><BR/>Perfect example was a company started up here in NY who in their second year became a client of mine.<BR/><BR/>The Australian CEO had no idea that when their USA number was set up by a previous employee it was tied to that voip provider and even though the service was terrible (not grandcentral btw) changing to a different vendor also came with about $2,000 of printing costs brochures/cards plus associated web domain changes.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>Dean<BR/>www.cognation.netDean Collinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08222027015133305237noreply@blogger.com
