Here,there and practically everywhere. So what is it? TalkPlus is a single “virtual” number that works on a mobile user’s existing mobile phone. TalkPlus subscribers can both dial out from and receive calls on their TalkPlus number, so subscribers can easily separate their business calls from their personal calls, for example.

" Have you tried using TruPhone? The beauty of this service is that you only need to use ONE number - your Truphone number! When operating within WiFi range inbound calls will be routed to your phone via VoIP and when not in WiFi range but in GSM calls to the TruPhone number are call forwarded to the GSM number. SO - whilst you may still retain a GSM number, it becomes vestigial as all inbound calls are routed through the TruPhone infrastructure. Oh - and do not forget - unlike other mobile offerings that CHARGE for all mobile calls, TruPhone does NOT make any charge for pure VoIP calls! So - if you have a teenage daughter, she can talk to her friends from home using a Truphone mobile for three hours without running up a massive bill! “My challenge is getting past initial trial on most of the new VOIP services as tasty as they seem (GrandCentral, TruPhone, etc) is that it’s not that simple to use at the same time as your current phone without having to constantly use a different number for in and outgoing calls. ”

I do not understand the issue with the numbers. I basically have dropped my Vodafone number and just use it now as a forwarding number when I am not in WiFi. As I am most of the time at home or in the office I have used (( truphone )) extensive. The result is amazing. While I was never able to get my mobile phone bills down from the £450 level I was operating; even after Skype started; I have now received bills at a level of £50 - 120 with Vodafone. So a massive saving through (( truphone )). I agree it is still early days but the savings make it worth while the hassle. I recommend anybody to try mobile VoIP. I have found that (( truphone )) the most compelling as it does not change your dialing behaviour; I would try it if I would be interested into lowering the ever same Mobile Phone Bill.
