Well I am not with T-Mobile any more, for the sole reason that Vodafone were the only ones who offered Talks when my contract with T-Mobile ended. They knew nothing about Talks. Vodafone was a bit of a mine field, but finally following the advice of a friend, I got my Talks.

Yes this has also been my finding too. on various issues I have had really quite inconsistent information from different members of this team. They also seem quite inflexible so if you call and tell them you have a better deal from somewhere else they will probably just say well that's tough. I actually may well ask to be deregistered from this team as they have done me little good. It is difficult for me to personally take up the talks business with them until my upgrade time comes along but I have saved previous email correspondence and I certainly will do my best when the time for upgrade comes. any help or advice such as tips on the best person to write to greatfully received of course.

I was once a T-Mobile customer and far from finding them helpful in this special department, I found them even more clueless than the "Normal" Customer services personnel, so maybe the stupid ones get sent there as a punishment? As far as loading Talks onto a phone invalidating a warranty, I wonder then does this apply to any additional software loaded onto a phone after purchase? Or content downloaded from the internet such as ringtones, games etc? And is this made clear to customers? I think it's ridiculous. Certainly from I got Talks from Vodafone I have used my phone much more often and as a business can't they see that by making their products accessible blind people will use them much more? Shouldn't take them long to recoup the initial cost of Talks should it?

I have recently been talking to t-mobile on behalf of a couple of people trying to find out about TALKS. They do have what in my mind is a wrong-headed policy of having a special disability team and when you are first registered with them, if like in my case you go for Braille bills, you get transferred to the disability team when you ring t-mobile from your mobile phone. 2 people from this disability team have advised me that t-mobile will not help in any way installing TALKS and they even advise that doing this myself could invalidate the warrantee. I doubt this severely and as it will be time for me to upgrade my phone this issue will arise for me personally soon. I have 2 questions. Firstly, has anyone else on this list been given such information by t-mobile and secondly does anyone know if t-mobile have the same attitude to TALKS in other countries? I think the attitude some providers have of not providing TALKS to visually impaired people is based on short term thinking and ignorance. I know that since I got Talks, my bill has risen three fold. While I was with O2 they more than got their money back in this way!
