I’ve given the utilities and some other people like my insurance company the new Grand Central phone number. So far it’s worked OK, although the insurance guy thought he was being asked to leave a message so his name identifier is “Hi John this is…”
I tried to demo Grand Central’s “call out” feature to Greg this afternoon, but it didn’t work. Grand Central didn’t call my phone to initiate the first part of the two-way call. Also my phone/Grand Central wouldn’t let me hit “1″ to answer Greg’s (separate) call; I don’t know if it was my phone not sending the right tone or Grand Central ignoring my phone.
My cell phone has been getting worse and worse; I’m not sure if it’s some kind of memory leak, or AT&T’s sub-optimal cell phone coverage, or both. I don’t think phones were meant to be used more than two years nowadays.
