A friend recommended a great phone service from Google called GrandCentral.  The service gives you a free phone number that you may give out to your friends, families, and people you owe money to.

Then when that phone number rings, it will call your cell, home, and work phone simultaneously.  That way, no matter where you are, you can get a call. 

The service offers voicemail account, with online access to your messages.  You can also screen your calls.  Really cool.  To learn more, visit…
