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-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!

The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
