Hi Roslyn & Paul H,
Glad to hear that!
Good tip to be sure about insurance for your phone too
You see I think that if you dohn't need an updated Talks then the route of
90 euro with Talks sounds a good one.
Remember that phones have to be replaced quite often, so as Talks is
linked to the phone that way sounds good to me.
Now should one want to go the Talks route say the current version of Talks
and phone well that is slightly a different story, and a more costly one
too!
Regards
Tony!
I think that if one goes down the road of say the 90 euro for a phone with
Talks too!

Roslyn!
Sorry if I was sounding like "a big Daddy" to anyone but thought that as
I have a little more experience now that I might share a little of my
knowledge to others on the list!
"you know that a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing"! <smile>
Trust that others might post something likewise of their learning too,
from time to time!
Jusst a matter of interest to us in learning land is the other way of
resolving the problem still working for you and if so it would be good to
hear you on the list about it.
Love your determination!
Tony

Hi Tony,
I got the phone in a Vodafone shop in Dublin City. Yep talks was
included.
I can manage to use the phone without getting this sorted. I just
don't think it's worth the hassle of sending it away to get it fixed and
possibly being without a phone for a while.
If I do get it resolved I'll definitely let you all know.

Greetings Roslyn!
I wonder where you bought the phone from and was it Talks included?
You see wee don't really have a lot of info from you!
Try back where you got the phone and Talks software from.
You may have to pose it there, don't know really your details.
It maybe that Talks may have to be uninstalled/reinstalled.
Don't know if there is a 'repair' option with Talks as there is for
example with Jaws!
Could be too that there is a phone issue!
You know contact the NCBI and I'd be very surprised if they wouldn't
assist!
Worth a shot!
I'm sure that will say and agree that they don't know all!
Let us know how you get on!
I tell you that it isn't all plain sailing out there but I think
somehow that you will get there!
Determination, I like it!
Regards
Tony

Hi Tony,
Yep I use talks.
There is not a specific mobile phone shop in town and I would
prefer to go to a shop with more experience on these things. The problem
isn't that urgent to get fixed as I can do what I was trying to do another
way. I would just like to figure out what has gone wrong.

Query
Roslyn!
Not being smart re this!
Do you have Talks or other speech programme?
Occasionally when I encounter a problem with my phone where it
is not say Talks related I go to the store, or equivalent, to ask them to
sort it for me!
Occasionally they may not want to know but usually they are
good!
Off peak times to go in to them I think is good!
I surely definitely get it sorted!
Keep those questions aa-going on this list as for sure
I'm)contrary to opinion I'm not always that knowledgeable contrary to all
opinion) not yet perfexct! <smile>
Regards,
Tony

Hi Tony,
Yeah I have talks. The problem was that I used to be able to
go into a contact and pressing the centre button on the phone scroll through
the information e.g. first name, last name, mobile, telephone, etc. When
I'd get to mobile, for example, I used to arrow right through the number if
I needed to retrieve it. Now my phone won't do this. There is another way
of retrieving the number, I was just trying to figure out why my original
way wouldn't work anymore.

Hi Roslyn,
Could you post again your problem with your phone?
I don't use that phone but there has to be a solution!
Usually when I get a new phone say with using Talks I can
work it out pretty well!
Try all the options, going through all of the menus!
Take your time and you should get there!
Do you have Talks?

Hi Eleanor,
Not sure. This is the most problematic thing I've had to
deal with on my phone. I've gotten resolutions to all my other problems via
this list. There is another way I can do what I'm trying to do. I just
can't figure out why this way won't work anymore when it used to.
I haven't resolved this yet. I live in Portarlington.
There is a phone shop here but it is not one of the bigger ones and I don't
think they are particularly experienced with talks.

Mobile Phone Query
If you are holding yhour phone facing you with the
numbers in a vertical or portrait position, screen rotation turns the text
on the screen to landscape. If that is the case you would probably want to
turn your phone on its side but that would be awkward for using the keypad.
However if it is turned off, particularly for visually impaired users it
stops Talks getting somewhat confused at times. I just thought that might
have been another idea to try and resolve your problem. Did you manage to
resolve it roslyn? Did you ensure that you had not reverted the cursor to
original mode and that it was on character so that you could move across the
contacts fields. I trust you know how to do this. You press Talks key and
then hold down the number two for a few seconds. It will say somethng like
Word. If you do not want word at a time press Talks key again and long
press number 2 on the keypad and it will say either original or character.
There are the 3 positions. You want character. Let me know if you are
still stuck and we can try and think of something else.

Hi Eleanor,
Thanks for this. I couldn't find the exact
setting on my phone. What does screen rotation do?

hi Joan-Anne I am wondering if you ever resoved
your problem re contacts. In case not please try this also.
Go to the menu, Tools, Settings, General,
Display, then down to Screen Rotation. You will probably find this is set
to auto. Press the square joypad to change it, and turn it off. Back out of
the settings.
Note on my N96 I had to go from General to
Profiles to display but I am sure you will be able to work around this on
your particular model of phone Joan-Anne.
