Still using GrandCentral? Google closes it, bringing you to Google Voice primarily
by The PocketBerry Team
Using Google Voice on your BlackBerry? How many of you were original Google Voice customers when it was GrandCentral well before Google acquired it and changed its name? If you go as far back as being a GrandCentral customer, then you all received the email from Google today stating that GrandCentral will be closing permanently on December 31st 2009. So basically if you have any contacts or messages you need to keep from your GrandCentral account, make sure you download them as a backup or you’ll lose them before the new year.
The exact message reads as:
We’re writing to let you know that we will be closing down the GrandCentral website as of December 31, 2009.
All GrandCentral accounts were upgraded to Google Voice earlier this year, but since that time, you’ve still been able to log-in to your GrandCentral account and listen to old messages there. You will no longer be able to log-in to your GrandCentral account after December 31. Because of this, we strongly suggest downloading any messages or contacts that you want to keep in the next 43 days.
We will send you another reminder before closing down the site, but we suggest you take action now to download any information you want to keep.
