All incoming calls are free at Grandcentral

My one number for life provider, GrandCentral, which is in beta now, is offering all incoming calls for free. So what is GrandCentral and how are these free calls work?
From a posting on GrandCentral blog;
"So what does free incoming calls mean? Since GrandCentral is a virtual number, every time someone calls your GrandCentral number, GrandCentral forwards the call to your underlying phones (work, cell, home), tells you who is calling and lets you decide if you want to take the call, send the caller to voicemail, ListenIn as the caller leaves a message, or record the call. Well, all of that is FREE. We’ll have more details about the paid features in the future as we leave beta, but rest assured you can continue to use GrandCentral for all your calls for free even after beta."
Which is further assured by;
"We’ve built GrandCentral to be your phone number for life and you shouldn’t have to worry about counting minutes or being charged for “overage” when taking a call. We will offer paid premium features in the future, but they will be optional and you’ll be able to turn them on and off at will without commitment. We are convinced that you’ll love the free service and want to move up to the paid service as you want to get more and more out of your GrandCentral number. But if you want to stay as a free user, we’ll let you get all your calls through GrandCentral for free."

Although the GrandCentral is based in Oakland California, it is expanding to other areas in the country. They just added Texas, Arizona and Oregon to the ever expanding list.
If you go to the home page you can choose number by entering your desired area code.
As stated above it is a simple service and you don't have to go through myriad of configurations. I setup my account under one minute.
All I can say for now is that I am a happy GrandCentral user. I am sure you might be too if you pay a visit.
