My dad has it with a Hamilton number in Matamata. Means he can make
local Hamilton calls from there, as well as have an additional line in
the office. WxC are also coming out with a similiar product this month

No reason why an office couldn't get more than one italk phone,
providing they had the Internet bandwidth to support it. And since
calls between italk numbers are free, it is a cheap way for different
offices to talk to each other.
