Hi Brian When you say your N86 is not talking, do you mean when you text, or do you mean literally not talking at all? If it is not talking when you text, you need to just press the Talks key followed by number 1 on your keypad each time until you hear Talks announce "speak characters and words" or something along those lines. If Talks isn't speaking at all, you might have inadvertently disabled Talks in the Talks and Zooms menu. In that case, ask a sighted person to go into Talks and Zooms, press the Options menu on your phone and go up to Enable Talks and press the centre of the joystick to confirm. I don't know from memory whether you would need to reboot your handset or just exit the Talks and Zooms menu to get Talks working, but they would be my initial thoughts. Don't panic!! (smile).
