We have an order in to replace these.

From what i knew they were staying until june 30th ?

There is meant to be a session regarding this online. My system analyst called me a while ago to mention this and would be in touch regarding it.

Hi

i did not get a list but the person whi will contact you from VYTA will let your know whats on the list. If the device was evr used on the c2k network then it should be removed but no harm in asking about whatever you have.
