*** end of email ******************************************************

This email asked me to contact iTalkBB on 1-877-482-5503 before Jan 10, 2011, so that my iTalkBB account will not be renewed.

Today, Jan 1, 2011, I did call italkBB, the customer services staff wants to implement a penalty charge to my account because I am cancelling this account before Jan 10. This is totally unacceptable and misled by this email.

I, then, searched the internet and found out there are more complaints about iTalkBB will not allow customers cancel contract easily, and still billing customer illegally after cancellation, according to some customers. I am uploading this article to prepare a fight with iTalkBB. I have paid iTalkBB for two years and never satisfy their service. I wish I did paid the penalty two years ago when italkbb unwilling to cancel my account because I started with italkBB for one day already. I am not willing to suffer for another contract and would like to advice the world about my situation. I have emailed them today as well, and waiting to see how iTalkBB react to my cancellation at the end of the contract.
More to come...

Canadian Experience

I was using italkbb for a year but their quality is really bad. I asked them to fix the quality of the sound, it was become better for a few month but later on it back to bad quality again. I have enough for their bad services...I told them I have to stop using their services and then they said i have to call back...and i told them can you cut off my service in the due day ? they said i have to call back in 23th the bill day...I forget to call back, i know i forget this but i havent use italk bb for more than a month because their quality is so bad and i dont want to use it anymore and i want to get back my money because I am really disappointed with their quality and services...it s like always drop the line and not clear voice, they keep trying to fix but never work...it is very very annoying..I have to struck with them for one more month because they charge my credit card automatically and cannot refund even i stayed clearly i dont want to use them for a month ago...i am very frustrated with their services, so please stay away with that company

Do not use them, my advise.

1. quality is bad.
2. I was promised 3 extra month free when I signed up. I returned the necessary form for this offer. However, the offer never happen when my contract expired.
3. I transfer the phone number out and thought that the service would have cut off. This is not the case. No one informed me and they continue to charge me.
4. When I realize the above and quickly called them to confirm my cancellation after the contract, they refuse to let me cancel, telling me that I am one day pass the expiration date and the contract now goes monthly. They said they will charge me $25 for that month regardless, even if I cancel right away.
5. few days later, my credit card was charged $334 for annual renewal. Geee...I have told them I cancelled contract, and did not they told me they will charge me an extra month? no, now they charge me $334 for one year illegally without my permission.
6. I write to them to enquire. They said they will refund me when they receive the modem from me. This is radiculous. The contract said that if they did not receive the modem back, they will charge something like $55 for the modem. Now, they instead want to hold my annual fee $334.
7. overall, this is a company that you do not want to deal with.
