've heard of predictive text OK but my family who use it hate it and don't seem 
to want to use it.  Certainly worth exploring.  Many thanks.

  Hi Eleanor,

  You said you were looking for a quick fix?  I don't use predictive txt 
myself, and I don't know if it works with talks but with predictive txt you 
would only have to press each key once regardless which letter you wanted on 
that key.  For example if you wanted to write the word 'how', you would press 
four once, six once, and nine once.  The phone then should pick up on the word 
how.  If the phone picks up on the wrong word there is a way of choosing which 
word you actually want.  As I said though I don't know if this works with talks 
but it is certainly a feature on phones.

    Has anyone worked out an effecient way of doing this, say using the talks 
on vodafone.  I am looking for a quick fix, have never sent text messages but 
would like to give it a go.  I know that one has to hit keys a certain number 
of times to get each diffeent letter but maybe someone has made out a list like 
how many times to hit for a b c etc rather than having to think and work it out 
at each letter as one goes along, like I think for e one has to hit the 2 twice.
