I will definitely ask them about it. It is also good to know that people have had success on the phone as well as doing this in store. I went for the N85 from Voda in the end though I understand that Voda are about to remove this phone as it is reaching the end of its life. I will ask about getting the £50 back for Talks for sure.

Then when I get said person I go through it slowly explaining about Talks and how Vodafone had put it on for me and how I could not use the phone without it. Then I go on to explain that it is possible for me to have this put on 'here and now, immediately' rather than having to send it away for such a long time etc and ask if it is possible to have my Account Credited with the £50 for moving the lisence. Never have had a problem with that. then when he, it has usually been a him ladies, agrees, I ask if they will confirm that to me in writing and they agree. This way I know it will be done. ----- Original Message ----- From: Graham Page <mailto:gpage@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: talks-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, January 20, 2010 1:14 PM Subject: [talks-uk] Re: helpful Vodafone staff and paying for talks did you have to take the talks receipt to a shop or would they do it online?

Vodafone put standard on my first phone; I upgraded to full version. Then they paid for my handset licence swap which, I think, came to the same as they would be charged by Talks for putting standard talks on my next new phone. In any event, they paid for the handset swap which was what I wanted. _____ From: talks-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:talks-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Neil Barnfather - TalkNav Sent: 20 January 2010 11:38 To: talks-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [talks-uk] Re: helpful Vodafone staff and paying for talks The only thing to note there Paul is that Vodafone only put Talks Standard on, which is significantly cheaper to them than Premium.

You may need to provide some confirmation that you have had to pay for this yourself before they credit you but, that will be up for discussion between you and Vodafone. I went into the store on one occasion with an email printout of my receipt from Talknav for example and they credited my Voda account there and then. I don't think it matters as to your previous history with how and what you did with Talks... Fundamentally, Vodafone would have agreed to pay for Talks on your new phone anyway and all you are doing is asking them to pay the same amount but, for your handset swap. It may even be cheaper for them as I am not sure how much it costs to put Talks on a new phone from scratch. Hope this helps and let me know if I can assist further.

Org Subject: [talks-uk] helpful vodafone staff and paying for talks Hi all. I have just arranged an upgrade to an N85 with Vodafone. I found staff helpful and prepared to go through options. There was One thing the member of staff I spoke to was not sure about and that was paying for the talks upgrade. I understand that Vodafone will credit my account with the cost of a TALKS upgrade but I am not sure how the procedure works and wondered about the experiences of other vodafone users on this list. Does it matter that when I first bought Talks I was not with Vodafone and in fact I paid for the previous upgrade myself? where does the person look to arrange this TALKS ;payment?
