TEXTING WITH TALKSThanks for that Ian. Only thing sticks in my claw about
texting is the sheer fiddliness of it. Put it down to hardening of the mental
arteries in an old git!

Hi 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.
