I am one of the biggest purveyors of free services on the net. I have always been frustrated that there was now easy to call people anywhere for free. (I am starting to sound like a 'Pocket Fishermen' commercial) Well, I stumbled across GrandCentral on the blogger website front end.
All you have to do it mouse over and tap on the "Click me" button to call anyone Absolutly free! Even on a stinky dialup connection you can do this. All you need is a microphone and speakers.
No, there is no 'catch' or fees later on. Google is the owner of this process / website and you know they want you to use their sites for free. Why? Because it makes them money, that is why!
Whether you believe me or not is my problem. I like free stuff as much as the next guy and am always looking for things like this. There are some sites out there where they want you to download their application and install it on your machine. I don't like that because it gives someone I do not know access to my computer.
The major advantage of this setup it that it is totally web based. Nothing to install or give access to your PC. When I tried it, I first took the time to call a dozen people I know in various states around the country. Hey, I even called my own house several times to test it out first. You could not tell I was on my PC when I called. OK, the only exception was that the call sounded better than a squeaky cell phone that sounds like you calling from the bottom of a well.
Hey, you don't have to believe me. go to the GrandCentral website and look for yourself. Then, once you see what I am talking about, give me a call. You don't have to setup an account with them to call out, just receive calls (which is easy enough the kids fixed a setting I missed. Well, I have my cell around 99% of the time. That, and you know I barely sleep anyway. Give me a call on the link either on this post or in the left frame of our blog. It gives me a reason to think.
