Hi, I probably won't be able to shed any light on whether Orange intend to offer Talks in the futurer but know for a fact that Vodafone offer Talks free to anyone with a compatible phone. their only condition is that they be your service provider. Take into account though, their customer service is not as good as that of Orange and when it comes to helping you set up talks, they are worse than useless. I know this from personal experience.

However, I heard, I think on the Talks list, that Orange is going to offer its VI customers Talks on a compatible cell phone as a compensation for the loss of accessibility you get from the Wildfire Service. As I said I only heard from others so you need to investigate this news and see what the score is. I hope that discussion was on the Talks list and not on here otherwise I'll be telling you what you maybe already know <Smile>.

I am now looking at other accessible mobile phone options and there is a rumour that Vodaphone is going to be offering Talks on a pay as you go phone Nokia 6600 for £150, sounds like a good deal, any views?
