I signed up for a TV streaming box from iTalkBB a few months ago, which was fine at first. But they recently contacted me out of nowhere and told me that I was responsible for a phone number sending out illegal spam messages! They told me I signed up for a phone number through them (I never did that). They told me I had provided a picture of my passport to them to verify my identity when signing up (I DEFINITELY never did that). Then they told me that the signup was from an IP address in China two weeks ago, when I haven't left the United States. So it obviously wasn't me, but they still were trying to tell me that I would be in trouble! They wanted to get my real phone number canceled, they wanted to involve the Shanghai police department... Just an absolute nightmare being put on me, when it was actually their own problem with allowing a fraudster to sign up. The whole call was very suspicious, like they were trying to scam me or get something out of me, although I can't quite figure out how. iTalkBB needs to get their security under control and not try to dump their own problems on their legitimate customers. If this is any indication, at some point their entire block of phone numbers might get blacklisted for allowing too much spam, which would not be fun if you were trying to use one for your own phone! You will probably want to stay away unless you like dealing with incompetence and bad security.
The staff member is extremely helpful. They provide friendly and informative service and resolve my problem with patient. The TV service is really valuable. I can see my favorite TV show there. Highly Recommended~! I will definitely visit the store again if I have any other questions!
Issue... No outbound toll free dialing ability to any 800, 833, 844, 855, 866, 877 or 888 numbers. I can not even call my ISP's toll free number, thanks to NetTalk. No calls from NetTalk about a service update, no email contact from NetTalk, no updates on my compensation request, nothing for weeks now. Incredible incompetence, a complete lack of technical service and/or follow-up. Service started out good years ago and has gotten steadily worse.
I've had the NetTalkDuo device (2nd gen) since 2010 or so, bought for $49.88 at Walmart. Included was 1 year of service. It's more of the Plain Jane type, no BT or WiFi, yet it's worked flawlessly for the past 12 years! Best of all, a full year of service of netTALK is about the same or less than a month of AT&T service (at that time). Actually was about $10 less after AT&T's extensive list of taxes & "regularity fees", which could easily be $15-20/month in itself! I hope the device lives another dozen years, keep it dusted and in a cool place to draw heat away. About some who are complaining about call quality, there's a recommended list of compatible routers for the non-wifi devices, this is likely the cause of some issues. I was using a low cost TrendNet router which was on the list & it worked perfectly. Later, went to using Linksys routers, all have been fine with my DUO device. Plus use a CAT 7 patch cable long before many heard of CAT 6, to shield against noise. For sure, when this one goes out, will get a newer model, hopefully price will be the same. I deeply regret that I didn't buy two of these, as were on promo at the time, regularly priced around $65-75 in 2010.
