iTalkBB Opens Hong Kong DID

Starting from March 24, 2008, iTalkBB will open a new service -- the option for you to bind a "third" phone number in Hong Kong for your phone. The optional Hong Kong phone number is in addition to your US/Canada local number and your free secondary China phone number. However, it would cost $4.99 per month. In the promotional period (before May 1, 2008? not sure at this time), the one-time activation fee of $14.99 is WAVIED. 

This service is optional and you can turn it on/off any time through the iTalkBB account management website (after login with your iTalk BB number). But it would be charged on the month basis, meaning any partial service month will be charged full month rate of $4.99.

I don't have any particular need to have a Hong Kong phone number. But if you have family or friends in Hong Kong, adding this service will make their calls to you appearing as Hong Kong local calls, saving a hefty long distance charge for them.
