Dial out using my GrandCentral number directly from my phone?
Does GC offer a way to call out from my GC number (such that my GC number comes up on my recipient's caller ID) without using GrandCentral.com? I love the "Call" feature, and it would be even better if I could use it when I'm away from the computer.
The big problem this would solve, for me, is trying to explain why I have two different phone numbers. I prefer to give out my GC number, but if I call someone for the first time from my real cell number, that's the one that gets entered into their phonebook forevermore. If there was, say, a way to dial my own number, hit a couple buttons and enter the number I wanted to call, that would make it a lot more convenient for me!

Inappropriate?If only there were some sort of a mobile widget you could reply using the GC interface instead of dialing from your phone, I would guess .. at least in the meantime. -
Inappropriate?Doing this directly from your phone isn't possible at the moment.
I've turned off the "broadcast my caller id" function on my phone... my number shows up as "unavailable" which isn't great, but at least folks aren't getting my "private" number, right?
You may also look into the mobile site for GrandCentral -- if you initiate calls from their site (on your phone or from your computer) then your GC number will appear in the caller ID.
I’m doin' good.

Inappropriate?using m.grandcentral.com to do this from a phone with a browser is very easy and intuitive, IMHO. however, for phones without a browser or data services, the feature requested by Dan would be very helpful.
I’m excited

Inappropriate?If you have an iPhone you can use the free application called Grand Dialer. Check it out here: http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZ...
