Hi Edel I notice that when you reply to a question, your text colour is different, i.e. not black. Is this something you have deliberately set for reply or is it simply the colour you have chosen when sending all your e-mails? How do you set thqt colour for reply? I am using Outlook Express and not Outlook.

(I don't know if this is possible with talks but I'm sure someone will advise). It is also possible to retrieve a phone number and contact details from your phone book while writing a text message and put them into the text message if for some reason you did not want to send a business card. This is achieved by the following 1 - When you are writing your text message go to options 2 - Arrow down to 'insert number' 3 - Now use the search mode which takes you into the phone book 4 - Find the name corresponding with the number you wish to insert and select 5 - Hit OK and your number will be inserted into the text message template.

Both of you were very kind to come back to me with your recommendations/suggestions. I can see it is a bit like knowing several ways to save a document, click on an icon or go via the menu route. Several ways to skin a cat! I am still waiting for someone to come back to me and let me know if it is possible to switch between screens in the mobile phone, surely this must be possible. Even a sighted person would find it helpful to switch between screens and given that Talks is a type of Jaws speech, or so I think, then I think it must be possible for Talks to come with something like that too.

I hope this is of some use.

You will just have to write it in as a new contact. Just ask your friend to send it as a business card, All the best Mike. ----- Original Message ----- From: Brendan Roache To: vip_students@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, September 27, 2008 8:50 PM Subject: [vip_students] Re: Mobile Phone Then I need to tell them to send it to me as a business card and not as a text message Mike.

Can you tell me now about saving a telephone number which is sent to me in a text message. Is there a way or is it a case of writing it out and inputing it myself. For example if someone sends me a media message with a photograph, I am able to save the photograph to my Gallery.

Mike. ----- Original Message ----- From: Brendan Roache To: vip_students@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, September 27, 2008 11:17 AM Subject: [vip_students] Mobile Phone Hi Anyone know if it is possible to change or toggle screen on mobile phone. An example is this. I am sending a text and want to put in someone's telephone number which I have stored in my Contacts list. I want to move back and forward say between my text and where I have opened the person's contact to read the number? Another thing I want to know is if someone sends me a telephone number as a text and I want to save it to my contacts list, how can I do this effeciently without having to write it out, say on my PC and then input it again in to my contacts list? Guess I am asking for too much here. Now here is a real brain teaser. Say I am talking on the phone and I want to give someone a contact telephone number from my contacts list, can I open this while talking? These questions to ensure that you are all up to date with your mobiles. Many thanks in advance. Brendan
