So you must have already logged into grandcentral via the browser to make this work, and have previously installed wget through apt-get.

Thanks for your inspiration!

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

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
