First I have to mention that most of the features of TalkPlus can be had for free by using Google’s GrandCentral. With that said TalkPlus does bring some new features to your BlackBerry that may justify the $9.99/month price tag. The main feature is the ability to have an extra phone line on your BlackBerry or to make it seem like you are calling from your work line from your BlackBerry. I am not quite sure how this works but it may be worth a shot to try the trial if this seems like something you could use. Other features such as visual voicemail can be had for free with GrandCentral.
