Peter, According to the information we broadcast on In touch the other week, Vodafone provide Talks free on both monthly contracts and pay as you talk. From memory, They offer a range of phones on monthly contracts including the 6630, 6680 and the communicators as well as the 6600. the latter is free and all have Talks pre-installed. The only phone available on pay as you talk is the 6600, again with Talks pre-installed at a total cost of £130. You can find out more by checking out the In Touch web pages and doing a search on my name, or Talks or vodafone. Hope this is helpful. -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Peter Logue Sent: 15 July 2005 05:12 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: TEXTING WITH TALKS Cool.I might just be giving you a call. Peter Hi. No, Talks is 150 pounds from us, but free from Vodafone on contract. So if you have a compatible phone, then it may well be that you can get Talks for free in some circumstances. I wish we could offer it for free, but we simply couldn't buy the volumes that Voda buy. However, if you pay the 150 pounds, there is incentive, as you get Talks Premium, which includes five additional programs for your phone, including that Mini GPS I was talking about in an earlier message. All the best -- Computer Room Services: the long cane for blind computer users.
