Hi Ray,
One advantage is time. It's much quicker to write in the phone "Be home
late", than dialing up, waiting for someone to babble on their answering
machine for a minut eor o,s then leaving a voice message. Not only that, if
you don't have a signal, you can still write your text, still send it, and
once you are back in coverage range, the phone will automagically send the
message. Conversely, if you are out of coverage, how are you going to leave
a voice message?
All the best

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.
Ian
