tomtom go 700 traffic update help

hi ya,
i have got my old tomtom go 700 out of the loft and i have updated the navcore to 8.351 and the map to 870.3406 i was wondering if i subscribe to tomtom traffic will it work now i have updated my go?
they reason why im asking this is because on my old version it was call tomtom plus and i had to put in my username and password to allow the tomtom to access the traffic update.
please advise if i can still use tomotm traffic
thanks

All these older (non-Live) devices don't have an inbuilt sim card for which you can subscibe to Live services so you need to buy an RDS/TMC receiver then you get traffic updates for free.

where is the best and cheapest place to get one of these from?
and will it work with my spec tomtom go 700 because it does not show on the compatabilty chart on tomtom website

I checked 3 spec charts, & all three say "no".

...if indeed these "real old ones" even do this? Maybe they only use bluetooth? Not too sure now.
