In addition to all of the above, you get the old visibill billing system (which i've always liked) - but that's had a make over too - you can now add, remove, and modify lines directly, as well as cancel your account altogether. The main difference is that 2talk is a prepaid service - you must have credit on your account to make calls.
A few bad points though, one being that you still can't port an existing number over to the service. However, you can get "028" numbers - (of which I have tested calling, and yes, they actually work this time - tested from TNZ landline, VF mobile, and VFX line) - I wonder if you'd be able to port this 028 number (which you can get for free) over to Vodafone since it's a non geographic number? :)
The other bad point is - it's callplus. We know how bad their service has been in the past with iTalk - if they can improve that then they might be a winner. Otherwise, we'll have to wait and see what the guys at WxC have to offer in the near future :)
