there are no more invites at Grandcentral.
Think they are going to abandon the whole idea?

I will definitely check out this service, as it seems like a really good idea (one phone number, one voicemail). And is it just me, or is Google developing a habit of preempting or just simply outperforming other pay services with their free apps? Not complaining, just wondering…

…oh and I’m giving it 5 years before Google unveils their private army and begins their final bid for total world domination.

I just lost my number recently (within the last week, todays date 10/19/07). So it’s still happening and getting worse. I thought MS was evil; watch out for Google. LOOK – There – watch out, I warned you!

Agreed. If you’re willing to risk your business on a beta application, you should be willing to take the downside of that risk. GC / Google did an nice job picking up the tab. But there are tons of other unified communications services out there that are business read. Check out http://www.innoport.com or J2 communications. These guys have been in the space a lot longer than GC and have services far beyond what GC offers. And imagine it…thousands and thousands of business customers.

I did not get a notice of my number changing, but for some reason, many features on GrandCentral have not been working this week (submitting notes, reducing the details screen, downloading, etc). I've tried contacting support, but I have not gotten ANY response. I'm a bit disappointed, because previously, I've gotten GREAT customer service. I wonder if things are falling apart with the service?
