Adrian I agree with you and Steve Nutt also suggests that as far as he knows 
the warrantee should not be affected.

I was told this by the Disability Services team at T-Mobile and I am not the 
only one to be told it.

I shall certainly email them again and ask them to investigate what they say 
more fully.

A friend of mine was told by the disability services team that she would be 
given a credit for the £50 for TALKS if she upgraded her phone, only to be told 
by someone else later that talks would invalidat her warrantee.

The T-mobile web site is, in my opinion, the least accessible of any of the 
mobile sites both from an accessibility and more particularly a usability point 
of view.  They do however have one of the longest established disability 
service teams of any of the mobile companies.  It is just a shame that they 
appear to be ineffective and poorly informed.

Hi Graham

I have a 6630 on T Mobile at work and purchased tTalks through Access To Work.  
I was not aware that T Mobile are now giving you money back on talks.  Does 
anyone know if this is correct?  I certainly can't see why it should invalidate 
the warantee since one of the main ideas of a symbian phone is that you can 
install software on it, and I don't see why Talks should be different to 
anything else in that respect.  Certainly if they are now offering a paymentfor 
Talks on the one hand they wouldn't be saying it would invalidate the warantee 
on the other hand.

As far as I am aware Vodafone are the only company which routinely offer 
visually impaired customers free Talks.  I managed to getit free from Orange on 
a 6630 for my personal phone, but only because I was an existing customer and 
previously on Wildfire (their voice activated service which stored telephone 
numbers and contact info as well as being an answering service).

Adrian.

  Hi all.

  A friend of mine was told she could buy an upgrade to TALKS and that t-mobile 
would credit her acount by £50 as she had just bought a Nokia 6630 from them as 
an upgrade.

  She has since been advised that putting TALKS on a phone may invalidate the 
warrantee.

  For various reasons I am currently using t-mobile and I have to say that, 
while some staff in the disabled customers unit seem good other staff are poor 
and it may just be someone spouting her rubbish.

  Anyway, has anyone else been given this thing about invalidating the 
warrantee?

  Cheers
