GrandCentral to Google Voice: Free calls to USA and $1 for free trial international calls and SMS

After acquiring GrandCentral few years ago, Google launched its new VoIP international calling service with the brand name of Google voice. However this service is not open to new users, but if you already have GrandCentral account, you can upgrade your GrandCentral account to Google voice account. 

To upgrade your account to Google Voice, just log in to your GrandCentral account and follow the directions at the top of your inbox. Upon upgrading, your GrandCentral number, PIN, and forwarding phones will be moved to Google Voice.

After upgrading your account, you can call any number in USA for free and you will also receive $1 as a trial to call any number. The call rate to India is 0.07 USD (7 cents) per minutes, which is not the cheapest moreover you can use this service only from USA.

You can always call or leave a voicemail with this widget.
