Yvonne, yes I've also done it in the past, and that's why I always have mute
on keylock set to yes.
Cheers

i can verify that one
i have even dialled peoples numbers with the phone in my pocket
now i have the option to mute on keylock this no longer happens
it's not impressive when someone calls you and tells you what you were
saying to someone totally different and unconnected with the person your
phone has just dialled

Yes but if you have this setting set to no, talks will happily talk away to
itself as buttons are pressed while it's in your pocket.

I've found out why it only says unlocked and not locked. In the talks
advanced settings, there is a setting to select mute on keylock. If, like
me, you have that set to yes, it won't announce when unlocking as it won't
announce when it is locked. Change this setting to 'no' and it says both.
Cheers

hi Barry
mine also only announces when locked
probably because i have the slider set to answer when opening and locking
keypad on closing
wonder if there is a setting where ending a call when closing
but when i press the rubbery key a second time talks says network date
battery etcetera but certainly does not say keypad unlocked
