Here is fair warning to any GrandCentral users who have not switched their account over to Google Voice. For those unfamiliar GrandCentral is the service that Google purchased and rolled into the Google Voice that we know today. Anyway, for those that are still holding on to a GrandCentral account, pay attention because today is more »

It does look like Google has recently taken a step that makes it appear as if they are preparing to launch Google Voice sooner than later. Google has recently grabbed one million phone numbers with Level 3, which for those unfamiliar, Level 3 is the service Google has already been using with Google Voice. Unfortunately more »

It seems that after yesterday’s rumored launching of Google Voice, we had one of the members of the Google Voice team offer up some additional information. The news was not what we wanted to hear. That said, I think by now everyone realizes that Google Voice did not launch. Sadly, all we now know is more »

So far, this one is being planted firmly in the rumor category, that said, I for one hope it happens. According to Natali Del Conte, Google will be opening up Google Voice for everyone as of today June 18, 2009. What we can tell you is that on the Buzz Out Loud (Episode 999) podcast, more »

It has been a very long time now since we have seen any changes with GrandCentral and most people expect it to be killed off. After all, GrandCentral has sat quietly pretty much since Google acquired it back in 2007. Then, just about a week ago, users who logged in were greeted with an expired SSL certificate notice and that seemed like the end was imminent. Of course, a little bit of good news did come out of that snafu. According to a comment from Jeff Huber “a new version on new infrastructure will be coming soon.”

Sadly, aside from this brief message, there is not much real news, but at least there is still hope. After all, GrandCentral did promise me “one number for life” and my life is not quite ready to end yet.

A happy day indeed.
