T-Mobile’s ‘Faves’ Becomes Totally Free Incoming Calls With Grand Central
VoIP services like Vonage are known, among other things, for being able to provide you with multiple incoming phone numbers on one phone line. You can live in one place but have phone numbers with local area codes from all over the place. All the calls are forwarded to your one incoming line. (Which isn’t a “line”, actually, it’s your broadband connection.)
Here’s a different wrinkle on VoIP: Grand Central. Its specialty is incoming calls, and for them it offers many typical VoIP features along with a compelling new one: forwarding all incoming calls to your cell phone, with the caller ID on your cell phone always displaying your Grand Central number, instead of the number where the call originates.
The advantage: If you subscribe to T-Mobile’s My Faves, you just sign up your own Grand Central number as a “Fave” and you now have totally free incoming calls from everyone. T-Mobile may not like it, but there’s little T-Mob can do about it since there’s no easy way to detect that this has happened.
Since Grand Central actually offers a tier of service absolutely free, it’s great news for T-Mobile My Faves customers, and not good news for T-Mobile.
