For sim-free phones, have a look at
www.mphone.co.uk
I got a 6630 on there for £243 including VAT, delivery and a European plug
adapter.

can carry it under the terms of the various contracts. For example, someone
I know recently got a 6680 with a full copy of Talks plus call time and
texts for thirty quid a month. On the other hand, I also know of someone
who shopped around for a SIM free 6630 from the net, paid around £350 for it
plus £150 for the Talks and then got a Pay As You Talk contract from one of
the providers. Five hundred quid plus calls is more than twelve months
rental at £30 a month.

very old phone to say the least.

> We don't give Talks free on any phone, however, when you buy from any
accessibility dealer, as opposed to a mobile phone company, you get Talks
Premium. Neither Voda, nor any other tel co are allowed to sell or give
away Talks Premium, so you are getting added value if those applications
sound good to you. If you don't need them however, Talks on a 6600 is OK,
if you also don't want 3G and all that good stuff.

TALKS and mobile phones in the UK. I've been away for a year now so I'm a
little out of touch. I take it that computer Room Services are still dealers
for

> I've also been hearing that Vodafone themselves are also supplying TALKS
with suitable handsets. I'm even hearing that if people sign up to a
contract with VF they will get TALKS for nothing.
>
> Firstly, is this actually the case and if it is, what is people's
experience of the this in practice: does it actualy happen; do VF staff know
about the offer and indeed about TALKS. And if so, what sort of prices have
people paid for a new phone loaded with TALKS. Is the Customer Services up
to much from VF - its always been first-rate for instance from CRS, so how
does Vodafone compare?

> Lastly, is there a UK dealer for the Mobile Speak software and does anyone
have any experience with them?
>
> I'm asking this because we're looking at our options for how best to meet
the talking mobile needs of our members here in New Zealand, and I just want
to be clear what the current state of affairs is in Britain so I can do a
realistic comparison when negotiating.
