Comments on: What is the “forwarding phone” number in Google Voice? http://www.fromthefencepost.com/2009/08/13/what-is-the-forwarding-phone-number-in-google-voice/ From the Fencepost Wed, 21 Jul 2010 15:22:00 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Jonathan Johnson http://www.fromthefencepost.com/2009/08/13/what-is-the-forwarding-phone-number-in-google-voice/comment-page-1/#comment-289 Jonathan Johnson Fri, 09 Oct 2009 23:59:39 +0000 http://www.fromthefencepost.com/?p=200#comment-289 @ John The latest versions of DialCentral no longer have the "Account Type" option in the login menu. Just enter your Google Voice username and password when prompted. Don't worry about looking for the drop-down menu, because it's no longer there. Here's why: Google Voice is a slightly modified version of a service formerly called Grand Central. After Google bought Grand Central, they kept it running for a couple of years while they developed Google Voice. DialCentral was developed during the transition period, and designed to support both services. When Google stopped supporting Grand Central, the DialCentral app was modified to work only with Google Voice. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I'll modify the instructions to reflect the change. @ John
