Late yesterday, Google snapped up GrandCentral Communications, a start-up that lets users use a single phone number that forwards to all of their phones, essentially giving them one number for life.

 

The service lets users manage their existing phones and voice mailboxes over the Web. Rich Tehrani does a good job describing the service here.

 

Financial terms were not disclosed.

 

GrandCentral was founded by Craig Walker (one of TMC’s Top 100 Voices of IP Communications) and Vincent Paquet, both veterans of Dialpad Communications, which was acquired by Yahoo! in 2005.

 

I guess this proves that there are still innovative companies working out there, and that their innovation is not going unnoticed. Congrats to the team at GrandCentral.
