PhoneTag goes GrandCentral, mobile workers rejoice

It’s cool to have a single number to ring all your phones, but if you’re a savvy user, you also want you voicemail converted to text. Guess that’s why voicemail-to-text and visual voicemail services provider, PhoneTag (former Simulscribe), decided to collaborate with the Google (NSDQ: GOOG)-owned service.

Prior to this integration, consumers who wanted to experience unified communication had to choose between PhoneTag, which automatically transcribes and delivers voice messages as text and Google’s GrandCentral service, which rings all phones at once. GrandCentral does not offer voicemail-to-text to its user base, nor does it deliver a .wav file of the original voice message. Now consumers can have all their numbers ring at the same time and, if the call goes unanswered, be able to read their voicemail through PhoneTag.

What’s else to tell. By combining PhoneTag with GrandCentral, a killer app is born. You’ll still be able to choose a single number for all your phones, while at the same time, being able to read your voicemail!
