I saw a lot of improvements from the old Grand Central interface. Things I like:

  • UI improvements: things look like other Google products such as Gmail and Google Docs.
  • New features:
    • SMS: now your Google Voice number works like a mobile phone, which can send and receive SMSs.
    • Voicemail transcripts, especially when you do not have time to dial in and listen to your voice mail. It may not be that accurate though.
    • International calling.

Overall, I am impressed by this upgrade and I will continue to use my Grand Central Google Voice number.
