Hi. Please document your attempt to get a phone with Talkx. I had no luck when I recently talked to T-mobile about an accessible phone. I have written a formal letter to the company. If I don't get some written response that was more helpful than what I got from phone calls, I will file a complaint against them. One interesting thing is the people I talked to at T-mobile refused to put their statments in writing. That's why I have written the Main office. I plan to post a copy of the letter I sent some time this week on my web site. http://www.hittsjunk.net If your contract is close to being up, and you don't mind using Cingular, you might want to look at: http://www.cingular.com/about/nccd It is the best price I've found for an accessible GSM phone. I found the people I've talked to so far at T-mobile to be rude and insulting. I won't repeat what I was told since it would be my word against there's. Please let know if you are more successful with T-mobile. Good luck. Kenny On Fri, Oct 29, 2004 at 06:06:34PM -0400, Igor Gueths wrote: > Hi all.
