Looks interesting and cool, but $0.027/minute on top of what I already pay for cell? Prolly not! I'd prefer a flat rate.

I've been using TalkPlus for about a month now - getting ready to write it up for mytreo.net. It's not cheap, and definitely not for casual use. If you are a road warrior, it is amazing. Carl W.

For the first time, Treo power users will be able to add additional lines to their phone from any area code in the US. That means that if you've always wanted an LA, Houston, Seattle, New York, or extra hometown number, you can get it. > > Always wanted a separate business or personal line, without having to get an additional phone?

A TalkPlus Number can be quickly created, used for temporary situations and then discarded. If a TalkPlus subscriber is selling a car online, they can get a disposable number just for the sales process. With Mirror Numbers, mobile subscribers can instantly alter their caller ID to any approved phone number. > > In addition, the Contact Center allows subscribers to select call screening rules for their contacts, including always sending a caller to voicemail, to a fast busy signal (blacklisting), or allowing a person to reach them when their number is set to "Do Not Disturb" (white-listing). > > Just seconds to activate a TalkPlus Number > > TalkPlus can be activated on your Treo in seconds. Adding a new TalkPlus Number doesn't require any new hardware or changes to a subscriber's existing carrier plan, even for prepaid customers. Unlike other new phone services, TalkPlus doesn't require access to a computer to make calls, asking others to download software, or conducting complicated call set-up processes. > > Loaded with great features: > > * TalkPlus Numbers - Get a new, separate number on an existing mobile phone. Subscribers can both send and receive calls with it, so it works just like a regular mobile number. You can add up to 10 numbers to your account. (Only the first number is free for the beta.) > * Call Screening - Subscribers can easily screen calls by setting up rules like automatically sending callers to voicemail, to a busy signal, or to another phone number. > * Visual Voicemail - Every TalkPlus Number has a unique voicemail box, with special features that make it easy to find and manage voicemail. > * Contact Center - The web-based TalkPlus Contact Center allows subscribers to easily manage their phonebook, review voicemail, and set up call screens. > * Mirror Numbers -Subscribers can clone a home or office number onto their mobile phone. This feature allows users to present an alternative caller ID when making calls. Up to ten Mirror Numbers can be added to one mobile phone. > * Conference Calling - Subscribers can make up to 10-way conference calls directly from their mobile phone at low cost. > Yahoo!
