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
Attached Files
File Type: deb Grandcentral_Dialer-0.2.all.deb (14.5 KB, 110 views)

How do u install wget? I tried apt-get install wget but i get an error at the end. Its not in the application manager. I'm also having an error making calls. I go to the m.grandcentral.com. Hit call in my adressbook. The device gets the call and then when I open the default calling application, I can't hear the person on the other end. But the person on the other end can hear me. I can receive calls just fine with hearing on both ends, but just not making calls. Anyone else having this problem?

Install wget from here.

Go to the site, then click on wget or download the file onto your device (or on your computer then move it to the device) then double click it. It should install it for you.

ok, my app manager is messed up. I was just browsing through my extras and there it was! Grandcentral dialer. Even though in my app manager it says unable to install. It works perfectly fine and is a great tool. And about not the other person being able to hear me. It's miraculously fixed! I made a call using the dialer and now it works! I'm having a lucky night!

EDIT: Thx laughing man, I realized though that it was already installed. I was reading my command line log and it said wget already in the newest version so it seems that thats fixed.

Matthew, I don't think you need an invitation anymore -- you can simply sign up at Grand Central. Your request might not be immediately processed, but it's not limited to invite-only anymore.

(I just checked the main page, and yes, there's a big "RESERVE a number for me" button. That's what you should use.)

I just requested an invite the other day and still nothing. Best bet is to find someone with extra invites to send you one.
