Poor service, quality, and communication in customer satisfaction. If a customer is paying monthly dues for a service and is receiving less than average quality in their content, then why continue the service. My family enjoys watching streaming shows from iTalkBB, however there is plenty of aspects of this company that I need to point out. 1. When the streaming box is turned on, the quality of the image would change from color to black and white. I thought it might've been the television quality at first that is affected, although when I switch to a different channel, color resolution is normal. 2. When I asked for an agent that can speak English, it takes them hours to call me back before a technician is able to assist. Sometimes I wouldn't get a call back at all. 3. Be careful with the information you provide this company as I have received SCAM calls through this company which tells me that they have been selling customer information without our consent. 4. When I engage in conversation with an agent, I get the feeling that they dont even want to work with the customer to resolve their issue and making them feel like a total idiot telling them information that is absolutely rhetorical. Overall, I would give this rating a negative review. Please do better with training the staff to have better customer service and improve the quality of the service otherwise customers will be throwing money away like it's meaningless. read more

This service doesn't work at all. It has crazy amount of real ID verification requirements with you passport in Arcadia when you buy it and strange photo upload requirements once you are in China. On top of this, I bought the SIM card in May and I was just told (after I arrived in China) they won't be able to active the physical SIM card until mid July! Not sure who this service is for really, it's certainly not for tourists. Save your time and just pay for international Roaming! read more

Yo! Stop scam older people ! Mom bought that shitty tv box years ago, that thing only works for 2 weeks, called them, charged us $100 bucks to " fix " their thing. Man, after that shitty guy " worked " on it 4 hours, all we get is " I will need you to replace a new one". WTF dude , you literally plug in/out, testing my home WiFi speed. Even now days still got their call. We returned the serviced already, still sent us bills. Pardon my Chinglish, and don't make me swear in Chinese read more

Absolutely the worst company I have ever encountered. I have not used their service for eight years and yet they kept charging me. When questioned they acted like it was all your fault. I had to cancel my credit card to prevent further mischarge. read more

Worst company EVER!!!! Customer service sucks beyond your wildest imagination. I would not recommend anyone to use them and would also go so far as to tell anyone who does that they should not auto renew or give them any business whatsoever. They should also be reported to the BBB, an indication should be their piss poor Yelp reviews. read more

OMG I been call this toll free number and wait for almost half hour they hang up on me I have to call again what kind of this company service read more

iTalkBB - Telecommunications Near Me - Arcadia, California

See all

Someday, I saw ItalkBB has promotion program when Ishopped at 99 ranch market. The flyer shows home phone and TV services only costs $8.94. And the staff told me there was a 30 day trail since I subscribe. Just that time, my parents landed to US. I think it would be a good idea for new immigrants killing time. After that, I found that TV shows are rich and update. Only one thing, ITalkBB's channels are all in selection menus rather than in numerical orders. My parents spend some time to practice. Now, my parents don't feel boring at home. They love it. It is worthwhile for me. Spend a little, make my parents happy. read more

My family with I going to the Italkbb store sign up our Family plan. We sign in Phone, TV, internet combo. That One is well we do. We service italkbb have 2 years. My family very like it. The customer service is better. Thanks Store manger Kai Service us. read more

I have been their customer for over 15 years, when I cancel service, have to pay return equipment Mail FEE ,even go to the store doesn't accept return equipment, only accept new customer read more

dishonest and very rude and under educated staffs, we have signed up for spectrum interenet and was given false advertisement. They will do whatever to get your business and problem arise, they told us there is nothing they could do and its our fault that we didnt read our contract. Listen to a previous customer like us, DO NOT do business with them. you will regret it. I wish there is no star on yelp so i could rate that instead of one star read more

Incompetent liars, all of them. They cut my original phone service weeks earlier than they should've (it was supposed to be timed for the same day as the Spectrum internet service), and when I told them that I called AT&T and AT&T said that they got the record of the line getting cut and transferred, iTalkBB kept denying it and saying they didn't. What sort of customer service is that? Either they can't read their own computer screens or they just don't want to admit they screwed up. I can't even get a technician to call me back because they're "so busy." So now I have no phone and no internet for 2 weeks because iTalkBB is a bunch of incompetent idiots. I can't believe my parents got scammed by them. read more

All they want is to trick you into sign up for whatever you are were inquiring, they don't explain clearly what you are getting into and once you sign up than when you call them it's always customer no service and always refer you to call the 800 number. read more

I am very satisfied with the services for just $15 a month inducing TV and home phone with ItalkBB. Usually when you subscribe to a carrier, you focus on their quality of services not how much your paying for the service. Even if they charge you nothing for the services but with weak signal, poor customer service and everything, you wouldn't stay long with them. However, I have been satisfied with them so far and will update my review once I have a better taste of what the TV can really bring to our family. read more

This is one of the most dishonest organization I have ever encountered. When you want to sign up, they are super eager to help and take your money. But when you have issues or want to cancel the service, no one is willing to help. The company website is useless. Stay away! read more

If you have other options, stay away from this provider. Its all about sales tricks when you purchase but its very very very hard when you wanna cancel. They don't offer returned lable to ship their stuff back which means you need to spend money from your pocket unlike all other business in the states like amazon,att...; less programs than they promised but even without a apology ; You have to go through the ugliest ,yes the most ugliest commercial when you watch TV again again and again! enough for me read more

I joined I TALK BB in 2007 so I a an long time customer. I like your original program because my relatives can call from China even though I paid for the services here in USA without extra fee. The Plan is called 950 connected to my Home phone Land Line only for annual fee of $ 299. But since WE CHAT was very popular and I have been using it to communicate with my friends and relatives in China, I did not used this service but put it as an emergency service when needed. Due to ITBBs reputation and their constant calling and emaling me to ask how is the service and to tell me about promotions, I did not change company since 2007. Recently , my relatives tried to call me using ITBB lane line, it did not go through. They informed me only through WE CHAT. I cannot believed my most trusted ITBB 950 long distance service has been disconnected by ITalk BB for over 6 years ago since 2004 without asking the Permission of me the Customer but Continued to charged the same amount of $ 299 a year Totaling $ 1800 for 6 years. The Land Line Home phone should only be charged $ 5 per month or $ 60 per year in your programs. So I should have paid only $ 360 Total for the last 6 years. This is a serious violation of Customers rights and dishonesty. The manager on the phone I talked to, Ms Xie, told me No matter who I talked to will give me the same answer when I requested to talk to higher management after she was not able to help me too much . She only later agreed to give me 3 months of Free discounts at the end of the next 2 years Totaling only $ 149.50. This is so obviously unreasonable compensation of possible fraud treatment of customer. Are you treating Chinese customers like this as a Chinese company....? Are you proud of your business methods ? Are you being fair ? How would your higher level of management treat your long time customers like me ? read more

I am writing this on behalf of my mom. She went in there asking for some help with her phone. the staff was extremely helpful and help my mom figured out what was wrong with her phone. also provided her with a easier solution. read more

I reccomend against anyone thinking about using their services. The customer service is awful. I've canceled my service in March 2019, returned their device, and to this day (Nov. 2019), they still charge me a monthly fee. Their customer service is absolutely worthless, and no one has been able to fix the problem. Stay away from them at all costs. read more

Just left the store, everyone was friendly and accommodating. After I talked with the staff, I ordered the home phone/tv/internet combo for my home. Staff was so nice and make sure I had what I needed. Highly recommend. read more

I had service last week with Bobo, she's super helpful. This week she followed up with me about the camera I opened which worked perfect! I highly recommend this company and considering open a phone line with them as well. read more

I have been using their mobile service for over 6 months. So far, it saves me a lot. The monthly plan is very cheap, good data plan, and stable signal. Especially impressed by their customer service. I got a lot of questions at first before making a purchase, but the staff in the store were very friendly, and tried their best to solve my problems. Nice experience! read more

...the download speed just about 6-36mbps only, all the time, all day... so bad.. very bad...

my parents want chinese TV when they are here on vacation, and they told me that they heard a company called italkbb has chinese TV. i thought it might be the same thing as direct TV but it is not. it is cheaper and has more choices. i expected it would cost me maybe $30 per month, but actually it only cost me $9 per month. I'm so happy that my parents can have it when they are here with me. read more

I know Italkbb because of their mobile plan. Last year, my sister visited me from Taiwan. She only stays with me two months. Most people suggested us to get a prepaid phone, but it cost a lot. Honestly, if some one who has landline at home, it will be okay with the prepaid phone. Unfortunately, I don't have. After comparing multiple non-contract mobile plans, Italkbb's mobile plan is the most cost-effective. It only cost $20 per month, you will have unlimited calling, text and data. After my sister went back Taiwan, I took a few minutes called customer service to terminate it. It is a perfect plan for people who want use mobile in a short term. read more

Every month I pay over $100 for the internet and phone services. I would like to admit it save me a lot since I signed up with ItalkBB. It cost only $9 to keep my home phone service even I did not use any more. Of course, the home phone service is required by the alarm system. The staff that works at Rowland Heights Store is very helpful and nice. She gave me many suggestions for connecting the profession security service, using by internet phone. I definitely reduce my monthly expenses. Now, I only pay around $50 for high speed internet and home phone service. Nice! read more

I have been trying to cancel this subscription service for a couple of months and have not been able to. Each time I called, I got a different reason why they couldn't process my cancellation. I paid for the Chinese TV subscription service for my aunt as a birthday present. She tried cancelling but they said since it wasn't on her credit card, she can't and I will need to do it. So I made my first call to them earlier this year. They said since it was before the contract's end date, I couldn't do so, which made sense, but they wouldn't allow me to pay up to that date and cancel when the contact was up. They said I had to call again when the contract was up to do so. So I called in today and they said that since it was under my aunt's name and I didn't have BB number (even though I provided the account name and zip code and they were able to look it up), I couldn't cancel. I will try again with the BB number, but am pretty doubtful and suspicious of this service. Unless you are okay with having the service for the rest of your life, I would recommend not subscribing in the first place. So if anyone has ever successfully de-subscribed from this service, please let me know how to do so. Thanks in advance for your help! read more

They do charge monthly fee around $10 each month, is not like what they said no other fee at all. I read lot of post regarding cancelation, well you guys can bring to a small court which happen to me with other company take forever let me cancel, the court will tell you want to do if they don't reply. read more

The sales there are really nice. And they offer 30 days free trial, if you don't like the services, you can cancel them in 30 days. It make sense. So I took their phone and TV boxes home and now I decided to keep them. Also they offer spectrum internet. My internet before was 60$/mo, after they changed my account, it's 45$/mo now. The only thing I was worried was they don't offer English TV, but they gave me a free antenna which I can receive local TV channel. I love it read more

First of all, I like the way they treat their guests, and their employees are really patient and professional. I was looking for a Chinese channel for my children,trying to get them to learn some Chinese. Have to say, Their programs are really full of content and really inexpensive！ read more

This whole system is a total scam! They smile and let you know you have a free 30 day trial and you can cancel and return the boxes. 3 days in, we figured out it's not going to work for us. We called 4 times the same day to try to cancel and return the box. Every time the operator said the cancellation line was busy. (How many people are cancelling???) We after the fourth call we left a call back number when the cancellation desk is open. They called back over 24 hours later. I saw it on callerID but when I picked up the phone, they hung up!!! WTF! So I called back again and they said I had hung up. What the heck?!?!? Good thing I started the return process now because I can see how people wait until the last minute to do so and your free trial runs out and they start charging for a service that doesn't work for me. BOTTOM LINE- DON'T SIGN UP!!! You will NEVER be able to get rid of them! BTW- now I know why this site is unclaimed. read more
