Oh look at all the problems I had with WFA Steve in that regard. I hope there
would not be similar issues in moving from one phone to another.

Hi Graham,
Not quite right.
It will transfer to any Sim card, provided the person you bought it from
provided you with the code. You then re-enter the code and it will ask if you
want to tie it to the new Sim.
All the best
Steve

Hi Yvonne
Steve Nutt will confirm this but I believe that the beyo CBS reader is tied
to the sim card so if you've bought this secondhand with the phone it won't
work with your sim card as it was licensed for the previous owner's sim and I
don't think you can transfer it, you will have to buy a new copy. I think beyo
is good for the money but the downside of it compared to the kurzweil reader
and text scout is that you can't save what you have scanned. I am sure Steve
will put me right if any of this is incorrect. Cheers! Graham

hello Eleanor
the reader is £75 so you are correct
the reason i cant get to the sim and memory cards is because the back cover
is different in fixing to other handsets
all other handsets the back cover had a small button of which when pressed in
allows the cover to slide down or up depending on removing or placing back on
this one has a small groove under the bottom edge of the casing and i have no
finger nails
if i could find something that i can use in place of nails then i will be
able to add remove or change the sim and memory cards
why can't nokia leave things as they are
why do they have to keep changing things around with each handset they release
the charging unit has been changed as well
first of it was a 3.5 mill jack plug this was changed to a 2.5 one and now
it's of the u s b style type

You are right phone switch is a more effecient means of transferring data
from one phone to another. I would have thought that someone with an N86 could
tell you how to get to phone switch. Phone switch does indeed use the
Bluetooth mechanism for transferring data. I would have also thought you
should be able to remove a memory card without sighted assistance but again I
could be wrong. On all my phones I have no difficulty in removing a memory
card but maybe you have dexterity problems. Someone should again be able to
tell you the procedure for removing a memory card from the N86. Finally the
OCR is Bayos or something like that, I have not got the spelling correct. It
is a software package which can now be used on Mobile phones with Talks and
costs in the region of £75 but again I can stand corrected.

I wonder did you use phone switch to copy your contacts.
no i used the old fashioned blue tooth and the long winded way of opening
text message and move to contacts list
not sure what phone switch is
but from what i can make out it is a quicker way of transferring data
One way of knowing if they are on the memory card is to take out the
memory card and see if they are there on the phone.
for this i will need sighted assistance
i can do that myself on my e90 but this handset is not so easy
You might also like to take out your SIM card to check for certain in
case they are on the SIM.
again this would require sighted assistance but i will certainly see
about those last two suggestions thank you.
Are you talking about OCR technology? I am not sure. That is Optical
Character Recognition which blind people use when scanning in a document
(print) to read with a screen reader.
i got an email from the previous owner he said this is something used to
scan things like menu's in restaurants etcetera but he did not get on with it
mind you i have not found anyone yet that has
i also heard that this software is not all that reliable
he did inform me that sight and sound do a version for £650
not able to afford that unless i can get a grant or funding
so once again thank you for your help

hi last night i copied my contacts from my e90 to the n86
however i may of copied them to the memory card instead of the phone
memory
how do i tell where they are if they are on the memory card or the
phone memory and how do i switch from one to the other?
and of course if they are on the memory card how would i transfer
them to the phone memory?
and what is a o b c reader or whatever it is called what is it and
what does it do
