When you get a TalkPlus number, our system forwards calls to that number to whatever number(s) you have specified. 

When you make a call using your TalkPlus number, you will use one of our mobile applications or WAP to initiate the call. TalkPlus will then use your mobile phone to place a call to a local number provided by our system, which then will connect you to the friend you are calling. This allows TalkPlus to show the TalkPlus number on your friend's callerID, instead of your mobile phone's callerID.  This also allows you to place low cost international calls by dialing a local number to connect your call through TalkPlus. 

More details: TalkPlus relies on a system that is built to leverage the existing wireless networks that your current mobile phone uses. As a result, the quality of the service our customers receive is the same as what they would receive from making and receiving calls from their existing mobile phones. When a user initiates a call from their mobile phone, that call is dynamically routed to the TalkPlus secure operations center which provides the specific features a user has requested and is then delivered over the same carrier-grade networks to receiving parties.

You don't need to change your current mobile phone service in order to use TalkPlus.

Whenever you use TalkPlus, you are using minutes on your TalkPlus plan and on your carrier plan, so be certain that you have enough carrier minutes for all of the talking that you plan to do.

TalkPlus also uses a small amount of data transmission for each call, so you will see data usage on your carrier plan. If you don't already have a carrier data plan, your carrier will probably charge you around 2 to 3 cents per kilobyte of data usage, depending on your carrier.

TalkPlus works on many popular mobile phones, including including the Motorola RAZR, iPhone, Palm Treos, Blackberry, Samsung Blackjack, Nokia E61/62, N73 and N95. TalkPlus has created applications that feature more integrated dialing capabilities for the smartphones listed on the website.

Users with mobile phones capable of browsing the web can also use the WAP site (http://m.talkplus.com) to place calls using TalkPlus.

TalkPlus does not sell mobile phones.  

To receive calls on your TalkPlus number: no you don't need a data plan. You can set up the (mobile or landline) phone numbers  you want your new TalkPlus numbers to forward to when you log in to your TalkPlus account by going to the Profiles page.

To place calls using TalkPlus, or access your visual voicemail, call history, and other features in the TalkPlus mobile application: Your phone needs to be able to access the Internet. Your mobile application and using the mobile WAP site will both require data usage.

We recommend that users of TalkPlus get a data plan to take advantage of all the TalkPlus features on the mobile applications.

If someone calls you on a TalkPlus Number, you will see the incoming caller ID from the caller. When you answer the call, TalkPlus will tell you which number or profile the person is calling, and will give you the option to transfer them to voicemail.

Since numbers from TalkPlus are not permanently programmed into the mobile phone or coded into the SIM card of your mobile phone, we call them “virtual” numbers.

This feature will be coming soon.
