The Skinny

Free Chinese Phone Number

iTalkBB can offer you a free local number in China.

Of course, you have to purchase the service in order to get the free number, but that's beside the point. iTalkBB can get you local numbers in China, Hong Kong, or Taiwain. With a number with a 950 area code, people all over China can call you without having to pay high international rates.

iTalkBB offers two calling plans:

• Global Unlimited Plan
• Residential Economic Plan

Global Unlimited Plan

iTalkBB's Global Unlimited Plan allows you to make unlimited calls to the US, China, and many other countries. You also get a local Chinese phone number thrown in there, which is great especially if you're calling China a lot.

iTalkBB's Global Unlimited Plan isn't a business plan. Like most VoIP providers, iTalkBB does have a clause to protect itself from unreasonable use. So, don't try any extensive office-related calling to China on your iTalkBB plan.

Residential Economic Plan

If you don't need to call that much, consider the Residential Economic Plan.

For $4.99 a month for basic phone service, you get 2 cent calls to the United States and China. However, if you spend more than 1000 minutes on the phone a month, you should definitely use the Global Unlimited Plan - it'll save you a little more money every month.
