Hi Will. I'm sure some one would snap the N73 up for £60. This would cover your fee to transfer Talks to a new phone. You can then spend the other £10 selebrating the fact you got rid of the N73 ----- Original Message ----- From: "will lomas" <lomaswilliam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

not poor hearing but it hink for example, that the speakerphone is much better when out and about ont he n seventy three plus if i get an n eighty two no one wants my n seventy three so i may as well just stick with this phone until it breaks, smile. no contract offers the n eighty two now if that KNFB reader was four hundred quid cheaper it would be in everyones price range. but most people jsut roll over figuratively speaking and accept the current prices, we are a small market? maybe. but surely we should ahve the freedom to the eader for a considerably lower price. itis not our fault we can't see it is just nature for most of us or the way we were born, and where are we who are unemployed, for the most part, going to find nine hundred pounds to buy something to read the odd letter, or bill?will On 27 Apr 2008, at 11:47, Steve Nutt wrote:Hi Will,Do you have poor hearing then?

Third Edition phones are the "in thing" now, such as the E65, E75, N82 (The best phone ever so far in my view), the N95, etc. All the best Steve -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Carol Pearson Sent: Friday 25 April 2008 22:04 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: Choosing/switching mobile phone/providers questions Hi Catherine, As I'm exitting Orange as a very unhappy customer of theirs, I'm delighted to tell you as much as I can. (See my answers to your questions below)1. Could I leave before my contract's up? How do I even find outI had graduated to a £15 monthly contract where only a month's notice had to be given, because I thought I was on the way out! Well, usually with contracts they say they still charge you ... even if you go ... If you've been paying much over the odds, do what I intend to do and that's to go to OFFCOM, if they don't give me the money back they've taken falsely!2. What happens, if/when you switch providers, about keeping the same phone number?You ask them for a PAC (Port Authorization Code) which they will send you in the post. Then you sign up with another provider and they import the number. There's a short delay, so you may have a temporary number for a few days, but it works out OK. I've done it once already and am just doing it again with two phones.3. Has anyone got any comments accessibilitywise about particular providers? Or phones for that matter. I'm happy with my Nokia 6630 with Talks and a hefty crack in the screen, but if switching means I get a new phone which I can instal Talks, MobileSpeak or SmartHal onto I'll do it. On the other hand is it possible to sign up for a new contract and use my existing phone? I think they usually give you a phone as part of the contract but would I be able to swap the sim over and use it in my old phone? If this is possible I may do it to save money.I'm sticking to Pay As You Go for the first three months to look at various contracts with O2. Even if I was having a contract, I'd keep my own phones running because TALKS gets expensive to keep changing. Yes, you can swap the sims, unless you have very old phones and then they may not work. The 6630 should be OK.4. Has anyone any recommendations for websites that compare different packages/tariffs? I had a quick look on moneysupermarket.com and found the phone comparison tool's search results a bit hard to understand, though I've used it before for credit cards.I suggest you may want to look at http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/ Or, if you prefer, call in and talk to them. Can't help you much with your final question, but hopefully this will get you somewhere. Write again if you think I can give you any more and of course privately if you want a bit more info about my problems with Orange. -- Carol carol.pearson29@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 3056 (20080426) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 3057 (20080426) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
