Hi Eleanor,
Yes, if Yvonne has Talks 4, then 5 is free to all 4 users. Just install it
over the top.
All the best
Steve

If you bought over your lisence from the person then surely you would be able
to upgrade to the latest version of Talks free of charge.

hello Eleanor
it says talks 4.1.3
i was told that it had version 5 on it
however the seller is going to contact Steve knutt to clarify what version
he bought
in the meantime whenever i press that little rubber switch it don't do
anything that i know of
when i use the training mode talks does not announce this switch
i have found out what all the other buttons do and where they are
but that little rubber thing i at first thought was a rubber grommet
covering a socket but it is in fact a slide style button

Yvonne, not Carol but might that little rubber thing be a cover either
for the USB cable socket or indeed the memory card.
I noted you were saying something earlier about the Talks version. Do
you know what version of Talks you have and more to the point do you know how
to find out what version you have. You can go in to Talks by pressing the
Talks key and a long press of soft key one. Once you are at the speech tab in
talks press options and if you arrow up from the bottom you should come to
something that says About and if you select on that you will hear what version
of Talks you have.
Another thing you might like to do is to go in to Talks training mode
which is talks key followed by zero on the number pad and then you can move
around all the keys and hear what they do. I am thinking that on your phone
there may be a shortcut key to Contacts and you would discover it hopefully
this way. Talks training is a toggle so to turn it off you would press Talks
and the zero again.

hello carol
thank you for email reply
u s b idea sound the better method but do i need to install the cd that
came with the handset?
and i have asked a couple of people but not yet got an answer
the question i asked them is what does that little rubber switch on the
left side of the casing for and what does it do?
as far as i can see it is the only thing down the left hand side of the
casing

The memory card is particularly tricky to extract from the N86. I
think you're supposed to be able to push a switch to get it out but certainly
can't put it in without taking the back off; so I always remove the back if I
have to remove the card.
However, Eleanor is also right. If you have a USB cable and these
programmes for your phone, that's a better idea than removing the card.
She also right in that the File Manager does show you whether you are
looking at the card's contents or not, so give it a go!
