thanks Jackie, I'll take a look. I like my N70 that I've already got and might just see if I can continue using it with a pay as you talk tarrif.

This scenario works well for me, as I buy text bundles because I text a lot more frequently than I talk on the mobile. With Vodafone, you can buy 70 texts for £5, 200 for £10, 500 for £15, and 675 for £20. They offer similar voice packs for minutes too. They offer Any Net and Any Time price plans, and you can call 2345 free of charge at any time to top up or buy voice and text bundles. Hope that gives you an idea of what to expect if you opt for the Vodafone Pay-As-You-Talk tariffs.

I'd like to continue with them if I can, but they can be a pain to do business with: I know (large sigh). I think I would like to try a pay as you talk package next time, I believe it would probably be cheaper for me.

It seems you are a mobile phone anorak. Great stuff!

Let me explain. My business mobile is 07956334938. OK, now when you add me as a contact, instead of adding me as 07956334938, add me as +447956334938. Firstly, this will always get picked up when you receive a text, because when the number comes through from the mobile carrier, it comes through in that format, and secondly, it means that you can dial that number from anywhere in the world, without altering it. For example, when you go abroad, you can still dial that number. So drop the 0 in your contacts, and add +44 instead. Works every time. And for those that don't have their punctuation switched on, there is a plus symbol before the 44. To get that into your contacts, press star twice. Hope this helps.

He has a Nokia 6600, and it seems that although he has added people to his contacts book in the usual way, whenever messages arrive in his inbox from them, TALKS is not telling him their names. He has been into the menu to check that first names are announced in his preferred order, but he is completely baffled as to why the texts he gets do not say the names of his recipients. Frankly I can't work this out either. Does anyone have any ideas please? Is it possible he has his display set incorrectly or something? Jackie
