GrandCentral isn't about hiding your number, it's about reachability. Grand Central gives you a single number that rings your home, office, cell, etc... And provides a single voicemail box for all of those numbers. As Asterisk users, these features do not seem very "ground breaking" to us, as most of us have got this setup for ourselves already. But for someone with no telephony experience or equipment, it's a great product to have.

I don't see the point of the service provided by GrandCentral. Party A<br>calls party B through GrandCentral. Party B know party A's number and<br>calls party A back, now party A can call party B directly, and party A
<br>has party B's directly number.<br><br>-----Original Message-----<br>From: <a href="mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com">asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com</a><br>[mailto:<a href="mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com">
