I'm pretty sure it was the Sprint store here in town. I'm out sick today, so it will be Monday before I can confirm this though.

The speech seemed to be a clear female voice, and not provided by one of the big name cell phone talking programs like talx or mobile speak. I can't tell you how much money I've saved by having a virgin mobile phone, I think we spend $60 a year to own one. thanks Betsie.
