Hi Steve,

I have a couple of friends who are getting Talks free on the 6680 but they
are limited to certain contracts.  Not knowing much about Vodafone, I
don't know which these are.

Hi Neil,

As far as I know, Voda are only giving Talks free on the 6600, which is a
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.

All the best

Subject: [access-uk] TALKS in the UK

Hello folks,

I wonder if anyone can update me a little on the current situation re
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
TALKS: I certainly hope so.
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.

With many thanks for any info people can give me,

Neil Jarvis
