TEXTING WITH TALKSHi Ray,

Partly it's cheaper as you suggest for the sender.  Additionally you can get an 
immediate response. Also, for example, if you want to ask your partner what 
they'd like to have for dinner or if they need to ask you to pick up a pint of 
milk, it's very easily done with text.  But mainly it's cheaper.  With one 
offer currently available from my provider I can get texts down to under a 
penny a message on pay as you go.  

Cheers now.

Ian

  Hi.  I don't want to detract the practical help being given on texting and 
Talks, and it may well be I'm missing something here, but what's the actual 
advantage of texting, over say leaving a voice message?  I am inclined to think 
the latter is much more personal, and a damned sight easier.  On T-Mobile I 
pick up voice messages free;  think the sender gets flieced a bit though.

  So, what's the deal?  It must be more than its 'cool'.

    Hi Ian,

    In my view, your blind friend is right.  Once you get used to it, you will 
probably never want to turn it off again, but it does take some getting used to 
at first.  But persevere with it, and it saves time, certainly.

    All the best

    Hi all, 

    I'm curious to know whether Vis prefer to use predictive texting or not 
when using Talks enabled phones.  Personally I don't use it at all but I have a 
blind friend who swears by it claiming that it's much faster.  Any thoughts?

    Cheers now.
