For right now, GrandCentral is not opening it's doors to any one and the invites have been shut off. Do'es and body know of any programs that is just like that ? . Or is GrandCentral the only one. I would like to have two numbers on one phone. One of them being a out of state number for when I travel.

Let me tell you GrandCentral guys this though. When you upgrade your accounts to Google Voice, the Canadian numbers get burned. For example, if you forward your US GC number to your Canadian modile/home/etc numbers, make sure you make all those modifications (if any) BEFORE you upgrade. Because after you upgrade, forwarding calls to Canadian numbers doesn't work.

Also, making calls from your Google Voice account to Canadian numbers will mean cost of $0.01 per minute as well. So if most of the GrandCentral stuff is good to you because you're in Canada (be it whatever), do not upgrade. This is probably not a long term solution, but ride the wave for as long as it lasts.
