Only a few days ago I as whining on Faceboook about how GrandCentral’s future was uncertain.

I am in the process of making some changes to some of the aspects of my business that would be a lot easier if GrandCentral was in operation. A move that I am terrified to make if GrandCentral were to go under in a few months.

It appears that I have nothing to worry about as this article points out on Webware. GrandCentral is being reborn with the Google name attached. Google Voice may not be exactly the same as GrandCentral, but that may be a good thing. GrandCentral was not the easiest service to figure out, but it was robust in features.

Let’s hope the new Google Voice keeps the ability to forward calls to any phone, offers live voice mail, and provides cool options like the ability to record calls.

Best of all, they plan to keep it free for a while.
