I noticed that the so called China call back number has been changed without email notice from italk bb recently.

This morning I got a request from a ibbtalk user who is frustrating which is the real call back number 中国号码. He is in China now and need to use that number to contact his U.S. home. Here is the current up-to-date italkbb number as well as his request.

As of 8/4/2009, the verified italkbb China call back number 中国回拨号码 is 4006-768-303.

“电话推销dish, italkbb, verizon和mortgage ”… We have received such complaints many times and people believe it is the italkbb that harassing them, well, this is not true because those unwanted phone calls are made from “shan-zhai” italkbb - some bad italkbb dealers who fake them as official italkbb company sales representatives, made call to finish the sales make the commission.

As a legitimate voip service provider, i-talk-bb company respect all users privacy, any out-bound sales call will be verified against the “do not call list” (if you register your phone number at www.donotcall.gov) before it is made. However, shan-zhai italkbb dealer doesn’t care about this, they hire telemarketing representative at China, with the voip phone technology, some fake the caller id and will tell you they are calling from U.S. italkbb headquater… most likely, they mislead user with expired promotion.

We understand it’s annoying when people are not ready but are talked (pushed) to buy something like talkbb phone and we only promote the italkbb phone on the net www.galaxy3.com

Now you may ask how to avoid those calls? Generally speaking, you first need to register your phone at donotcall.gov, then whenever you get the unwanted phone, say this to the one on the other side “I will file the complaint on donotcall website and will also call italkbb official site to report this call” - italkbb company will investigate this unwanted call because they don’t want to get involved into law issues or get fined by federal govenment, they will seriously retrieve the dealer’s authorizations for violations.

Any another ways to stop the annoying italkbb telemarketing calls? Here are something funny from the web searching:

1)我让儿子和电话那边推销的周旋，没劲她就挂了，呵呵。

2)ItalkBB电话公司的疯女人光今晚就打了三次骚扰电话总数加起来足有上百次，刚开始还有耐心拒绝，到后来真是不胜其烦，请她们不要再打，她们却依然如故, 为什么有那么厚皮？直到我威胁报告FBI才作罢。

We suggest you don’t be fooled by any promising calls, take your time and you can turn off the phone “deals” first, then go to its official italkbb site, take a peek do some research and then google a promotion code, call official sales hot line 1-877-italkbb, clarify any questions such as cancel and return policy before you make decision, you don’t have to worry about to be misleaded with the real italkbb sales.

iTalkbb recently used a tool provided by Quantcast to get itself quantified which means to figure out who is looking into italkbb website. Here are some interesting results:

I always want to test iTalkbb outside U.S. since I first time learned that iTalkBB rely only on the internet, doesn’t matter where you are.

Last week, I had a mini vacation in China.

I brought the iTalkBB adaptor back with my luggage. I couldn’t wait to test it when I got my parents home. They have FIOS internet with download speed upto 2Mbit/s and upload speed up to 0.6Mbit/s.

I connected the iTalkbb box, powered on and booom…the green lights were on and it indeed worked for me! I then made several calls to U.S. and it sounded great without delay and echo. I could hear that friends in U.S. were watching CCTV4 …

Not enough though, I then also made my friends call me back…but…!@#$%^&…..could not get through…???

I was a bit disapointed. Next day, I called iTalkBB tech support and they finally figured out that I plugged the phone jack into “line2” which was not correct. After switching to “line1” on the iTalkBB box, the phone worked for both ways…I could received call from U.S. with same quality! (??SPA2102 italkbb ?????,??????????line1,????????).

So give it a try when you are out of town, many hotels room providing internet connection and iTalkbb can work for you anywhere.

If you don’t already have iTalk bb, I recommend you take a look at http://galaxy3.com for recent iTalkBB promotion, actually, to signup with promotion code you can save more dollars.

We have been asked many times for the same question: Are there any hidden cost for iTalk BB?

Let’s look at the advertised $299/year ibbtalk global unlimited plan. If one actually follows through the registration steps on www.italkbb.com, it would turn out like below:

There is a $9.99 shipping fee, a $zero device deposit for Linksys SPA-1001, and $35.4 applicable regulatory fees and taxes.

Using  promotion code “678710″ can save you $10 instantly, making the total $334.39, deposit would return to you upon service cancelation if you choose SPA-2102. 

There could be additional usage charge billed monthly if you make calls to countries that is not covered in the ibbtalk plan or to cellphone numbers in some countries like Taiwan.  We recommend you avoid calling mobile phones except for China, HongKong and Singapore.

Basically the hidden costs for i talk bb are $35.4 ($2.95/month), the italkbb tax and fees, which we have explained in previous post.

Many calls received asking for italkbb China call back number recently since italk company changed the BB number, here I list the number as FAQ.

1. 在任何手机上拨打：(4006266003 或 4006266005 或 4006266007) 。

2. 听到语音提示后，输入对方的BB 号码

3. 按”#” 号键结束。

例如 : ：(4006266003 或 4006266005 或 4006266007) (等待语音提示) + 8991011234 + # 。

Some italkbb customers were surprised that their credit cards get charged automatically for a second year. The complaints we have received toward iTalkBB with respect to billing happened when service is due to renewal. Some found their iTalkBB service terminated when transaction failed due to either expired credit card or stale address information.

Here let’s share a few tips to avoid billing dispute with iTalkBB.

(1) go through italkbb’s “terms and conditions” — cancellation policy, renewal policy:

“The Service is automatically renewed unless Customer provides iTalk notification of intent to terminate the Service not less than thirty days prior to effective date of termination…”

“Customer shall notify iTalk of any change to the Credit Card information including changes in account number, expiration date and billing address…”

(2) keep your email information in iTalkBB up-to-date and make sure your spam filter is set up properly. All service updates from iTalkBB are communicated through emails. iTalkBB does send notification emails a couple of months before your current (annual) service plan expires.

(3) use italkbb coupon code 678710 when register iTalkBB’s serive (you will receive $10 instant BB discount). And if you are unfortunate to run into any billing problem, send email to sales@galaxy3.com.

(4) go to galaxy3.com find the up-to-date talkbb info.

One of the key advantages when using iTalk is its local access BB numbers in China/Hong Kong/Taiwan.

Your family can talk to you without long distance charge through the talkbb number. For Global Unlimited Annual Plan users, all incoming calls are Free of Charge (other plans, e.g., economic plan, may have a $.02/minute charge). The feature of using China local access number is enabled for all iTalkBB users and is free of charge.
