Forward Grandcentral.com Voicemails to Two Email Addresses

Awhile back I obtained a Grandcentral.com phone number and I’ve loved the service ever since!  My wife and I can receive phone calls on either our cell phone or our home phone or even both if need be!  We can listen to voicemails as they are being left!  We can forward calls from one phone to the other!  Plus much, much more!  One of the only issue we came accross is that even though the voice mails are so conveniently sent to our email box, we only had the option of having them sent to one email box.  Well, We each have our own email and would love to have them sent to both.  Well, we figured it out!

If you remember my last two posts about email filtering: My Email’s Being Filtered and More About Email Filtering, and were able to figure filtering out, you can have your voice mails sent to two emails!  Here’s how I did it:

1. First of all, I happened to have an email account in three different services: Hotmail, Yahoo, and Gmail.  I generally use my Hotmail account so I used that one for the final destination for the voice messages.  I chose to have Grandcentral send the vaoicemails to my Gmail account.
2. I then set up a filter to send all emails from “voicemail@grandcentral.com” to my Hotmail box
3. Then I set up a second filter to send all emails from “voicemail@grandcentral.com” to my wife’s Yahoo mail box

Now, whenever we miss a call and someone leaves us a message, Grandcentral sends the message to my Gmail account which takes care of forwarding it to the final two email boxes!  Cool, huh?

If you don’t have a Grandcentral number yet, I think you’d like it, but as far as I know it is still a “private beta service” and are closed to new testers!  I guess I was blessed and slipped in when they were still looking ofr testers
