Hi Mel, Steve & all,
Vodafone says it provides Talks free on any of the phones supplied which can
carry it under the terms of the various contracts. For example, someone I know
recently got a 6680 with a full copy of Talks plus call time and texts for
thirty quid a month. On the other hand, I also know of someone who shopped
around for a SIM free 6630 from the net, paid around £350 for it plus £150 for
the Talks and then got a Pay As You Talk contract from one of the providers.
Five hundred quid plus calls is more than twelve months rental at £30 a month.
Cheers now.
Ian

Hi Steve,
I have a couple of friends who are getting Talks free on the 6680 but they are
limited to certain contracts. Not knowing much about Vodafone, I don't know
which these are.

Hi Neil,
As far as I know, Voda are only giving Talks free on the 6600, which is a very
old phone to say the least.
We don't give Talks free on any phone, however, when you buy from any
accessibility dealer, as opposed to a mobile phone company, you get Talks
Premium. Neither Voda, nor any other tel co are allowed to sell or give away
Talks Premium, so you are getting added value if those applications sound good
to you. If you don't need them however, Talks on a 6600 is OK, if you also
don't want 3G and all that good stuff.
All the best

Subject: [access-uk] TALKS in the UK
Hello folks,
I wonder if anyone can update me a little on the current situation re TALKS and
mobile phones in the UK. I've been away for a year now so I'm a little out of
touch. I take it that computer Room Services are still dealers for
TALKS: I certainly hope so.
I've also been hearing that Vodafone themselves are also supplying TALKS with
suitable handsets. I'm even hearing that if people sign up to a contract with
VF they will get TALKS for nothing.
Firstly, is this actually the case and if it is, what is people's experience of
the this in practice: does it actualy happen; do VF staff know about the offer
and indeed about TALKS. And if so, what sort of prices have people paid for a
new phone loaded with TALKS. Is the Customer Services up to much from VF - its
always been first-rate for instance from CRS, so how does Vodafone compare?
Lastly, is there a UK dealer for the Mobile Speak software and does anyone have
any experience with them?
I'm asking this because we're looking at our options for how best to meet the
talking mobile needs of our members here in New Zealand, and I just want to be
clear what the current state of affairs is in Britain so I can do a realistic
comparison when negotiating.
With many thanks for any info people can give me,
Neil Jarvis
