I just got my invite for Grand Central so I have been playing around with that. The two services have different goals, so you can’t really compare them easily to find which one is better.

YouMail is great for customized greetings, with a huge library and lots of options.

Grand Central doesn’t have a library of voicemails, you have to record your own, and you can’t make your own custom groups (yet). But you can get a single number that ties all your others together.

So if you just want an awesome voicemail, checkout YouMail.com, otherwise go with Grand Central. I wrote about both of these recently in depth in my blog if anybody is interested. http://MakingDisciples.EternalTruthMinistry.com

I have numerous numbers registered: home, cell, skype, and work. I was on my cell and the battery was dying. I got home and wanted to try switching the call from my cell to my home phone, but it didn’t work. I am still not sure what I actually did wrong or if there was something that I needed to do in order to activate this feature.

Also great for call screening. It would be nice if they had some Canadian phone numbers available.

Right now I’m using Youmail, I’d love to hear your thoughts on that service if you’ve tried it.

The problem with extensions didn’t apply since it’s a small office, and the distinctive ring keeps managers and other people (ahem) from grabbing the phone when it’s a private call for the boss.

Ahh, don’t send me an invite. I don’t even have a cell; I’m the anti-boss in this arena. I like the peace and quiet that comes from people not being able to find me. ;)
