Eleanor,
In the normal thrust of things you should have no problem in Ireland just have
your connection set to automatic
or in my case too had to try manual for a search but of course in my
particular case no joy.
We saw a shop in Drumcondra on our way back from the airport advertising a
phone unlock facility but won't pursue that here as it's probably borderline.

Hi Tony
While I do not know what is available in Ireland re Vodafone and Talks I know
the C5 is popular here in the UK. As for your issue with coverage, this is
interesting to me as for some reason my O2 phone (Irish) here in the UK has
switched to Orange and though I can call O2 customer services in Ireland from
the phone, I cannot send a text message though I have money in the phone. This
happened in March but up to this I had no issues with roaming on the same
phone. I am therefore curious to see if on Thursday when in Dublin, the phone
will revert to O2.ie I understand that in Ireland Vodafone like the UK put on
Talks free of charge but this does limit you to the one and only phone Vodafone
provide. There are werty keypads on some phones too, for example the Nokia E5
and E6, though the E6, does have some touch screen. For yourself or anyone
else interested if you were to purchase your own copy of Talks from a Talks
dealer and already have a phone with Talks, your new purchase of Talks will be
the fee for hand-set transfer only which is only about a third of the full
price of Talks. To do this you would give your Talks dealer the licence code
of your current Talks. In the UK this is a £50 charge so I have a feeling that
I have heard it quioted at Euro 75. Doubtless Stuart Lawler from NCBI will
correct me on this if I am wrong. All phones that run Talks are listed on the
RNIB website and also on the latest release notes of Talks released back in
December 2012. Hope this helps.

Morning folk,
Firstly not just ready as yet to embrace smart phones but am looking
instead for possibly a replacement Nokia phone at a reasonable price say from
Vodafone that will include the Talks.
Briefly I switched to Tesco Mobile recently and since then I have issues.
I was abroad last week and I got no coverage from any network so when I
returned home the same, zilsh.
Contacted Tesco and they say that is a phone problem, but I'm not so sure.
Last time something like that occured I left the sim and battery finally
out for a day or so and everything was fine and dandhy again so I am trying
that again.
Anyone recommend a good reasonably-priced Nokia just in case?
