iTalkBB starts to charge $2.95/mo Regulatory Recovery Fee
Starting from Feb. 15, 2009, iTalkBB will collect a $2.95 “Applicable Regulatory Recovery Fees, Charges and Taxes“. This applies to both new customers and existing customers who have already subscribed to a monthly or annual plan. The added cost is definitely unwelcome but expected, I hope this post may help clarify things a bit.
Here is the story:
As iTalkBB grows in customer base, it becomes increasingly difficult to get away with regulatory fees, charges and taxes — which can be as much as 15% from what shows up in our TV, Internet, Mobile phone, or regular phone bills. It is risky not to fully disclose those fees. At some turning point, iTalkBB decides to pass this to customers.
For the existing customers, please beware any out-of-date credit card information on iTalkBB site. Service may be interrupted if charge for this fee cannot be processed:
