Try iTalkBB risk-free OR get service credit in rebate

iTalkBB generally offers 30-day risk free trial period. If you terminate your service after first 30 days and within first year, then iTalkBB would normally charge you an early termination fee of $69.99 -- details on this policy can be found here.

From 11/01/2008 to 12/31/2008, iTalkBB offers a new program that waives such early termination fee. Optionally, if you are satisfied with the service after the trial period and confident that you will continue the service from iTalkBB, you may request 3-month service credit (for annual plan users, or 2-month for monthly plan users) in exchange for the waiver of early termination charge.

In addition, you may use promotion code "953110+8991095718" to save $15 instantly and meanwhile qualify for any other on-going promotions listed here.

Avoiding Billing Dispute with iTalkBB

I have received some complaints toward iTalkBB with respect to billing. It seems that many of the billing incidents happened at the time of service renewal for a second year. Some were surprised that their credit cards get charged automatically for a second year. Some found their iTalkBB service terminated when transaction failed due to either expired credit card or stale address information. In some cases, collection agents were sent for and things got ugly.

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

(i) go through italkbb's "terms and conditions" -- it's a bit length, but there's a few things that you should know, such as cancellation policy, renewal policy. As a matter of fact, it states in the first few lines:
  • "The Service is automatically renewed unless Customer provides iTalk notification of intent to terminate the Service not less than thirty (30) days prior to effective date of termination..."
  • "Upon purchase, Customer must provide iTalk a valid credit card number from an accepted issuer (see iTalk's website for accepted issuers). Customer authorizes iTalk to charge the credit card number ("Credit Card") for all charges arising from Customer's use of the Services..."
  • "Customer shall notify iTalk of any change to the Credit Card information including, without limitation, changes in account number, expiration date and billing address..."
So, you should expect that you credit card be charged for service renewal and keep your information updated through the iTalkBB account management page.

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

(iii) use coupon code 953110 when register iTalkBB's serive (you will receive $10 instant discount). And if you are unfortunate to run into any billing problem, send email to italkbb.deal@gmail.com or post comments to this blog for additional assistance. We will do our best in helping you.
