Google today has snapped up “anywhere phone number” company Grand Central. GrandCentral combines multiple phone numbers, to one phone number that you can set to ring all, some, or none of your phones, based on who’s calling. This way, your phone number is tied to you, and not your location or job.

GrandCentral is joining Google. We’re excited about this. Being part of Google will helps us make our vision of improved voice communications one step closer to reality and bring innovative communications services to millions of users around the world. This will also ensure that your GrandCentral number is here for the long run, and that no matter how often you move, change jobs or phone providers, everyone can still reach you through the same phone number.

    I believe Beta was there before Google rolled through. It’s not a bad acquisition. I’m looking forward to seeing features improved.
