I believe (though i am afb at the mo) you are 100% correct with regards RAW with regards the points cost of the trade.
My own gut tells me though that the inability to speak or make vocal sounds cant still be worth -25 points when you can still comunicate quite adequately at range (and at ranges verbal comunication can not begin to emulate with out serious technological assistance). As for the yelling "help" is there not a global modifier for telesend? (again i am afb at the mo).
