Hmmm! Think I'll probably go for a once only payment and stay where I am as I'm not a heavy user and don't have the kind of cash that can be sunk into a higher tariff for months on end. That's why I went Pay as You Go for quite a while. Still, I'll be looking at my options soon for the N86.-- Carol carol.pearson29@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx On Twitter: http://twitter.com/songbird49a ---- Original Message ---- From: "Neil Barnfather - TalkNav" <talks@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <talks-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, September 25, 2009 5:55 PM Subject: [talks-uk] Re: Any more news...Carol, Yes, you'd just upgrade from SIM only to a handset tariff. ---Neil Barnfather TalkNav TalkNav is a Nuance Accessibility software reseller and authorized distributor of Wayfinder products, with product activation codes delivered direct to your mailbox, why not try TalkNav today? www.talknav.com www.wayfinderaccess.com Telephone from the UK: 0844 412 1062 Telephone outside the UK: +44 161 277 7997 -----Original Message----- From: talks-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:talks-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Carol Pearson Sent: 25 September 2009 17:37 To: talks-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [talks-uk] Re: Any more news... Neil, When you say "on contract" I guess you don't mean these "sim only" ones ...
