Search giant Google has acquired GrandCentral Communications for an undisclosed sum.GrandCentral lets users of its software combine all their phone numbers and voicemail boxes under one phone number so they can manage various phone features online. Once the user clicks on the number, GrandCentral calls the user’s designated phone and then connects it to the number from the address book.
Last week rumors of the acquisition swirled online.
At the time, a GrandCentral spokesman said he couldn’t comment on the rumors.
Google just made the announcement on its blog.
