Wow Colin, you really were lucky that was an excellent deal. I live in N.I. and there seems to be one shop here which installs Talks and for me they sent the handset to a Vodafone store closer to me.

I must have been lucky. I went to several mobile shops in Hull and couldn't get any sense out of any of them. The Vodahone shop actually had phones in stock with Talks already installed and sold me a 'pay as you go' 6600 for ?130.

Hi Andrew, My understanding is that they are in principal and theory although people have had some difficulty getting it in practise. One of the secrets appears to be not to go into your Vodafone dealership and ask for Talks. You should ask if they know anything about "The speaking phone". If they say no, then get them to look it up on their intranet. If you still have no joy, then the advice is to contact Mike duxbury by emailing Mike.duxbury@xxxxxxxxxxxx But again, people have had mixed results and experiences with this. Cheers now. Ian. -----Original Message----- From: talks-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:talks-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Andrew Ireland Sent: 16 March 2006 23:04 To: talks-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [talks-uk] Vodafone. Hi Folks, Anyone know if Vodafone is still giving free Talks. Also, does anyone know any contact numbers?
