I am pleased to announce the release of Grandcentral_Dialer, a GUI python front-end to simplify placing calls via Grandcentral.

Grandcentral allows you to initiate an outbound phone call for free, which is then connected to a phone (landline, cell, VOIP) that you have configured already within Grandcentral. Unfortunately, the web interface makes it very difficult to dial numbers without entering them into your Grandcentral contacts list first, and this is even more cumbersome from the browser on a tablet.

The attached package provides a graphical "telephone style" dial pad to enter the phone number that you want to call, and submits that to Grandcentral.

Requirements:

• an account with Grandcentral
• a device to answer your end of the phone call placed by Grandcentral to the number that you specify. This can be a landline, cell phone, or VOIP device, including your tablet.
• the "wget" program installed on your tablet
• a web "cookie", set by logging into http://www.grandcentral.com/mobile/messages from the microb browser on your tablet
