116 Section 2H: Using Your Phone’s Voice Services
If a name has only a single number, or if you know the name
but are not sure which number to call, say “Call” followed by
the name only. For example, say “Call John.” If the name is
recognized and there is only one number for the name, your
phone immediately places the call. If there are multiple
numbers stored for the contact, the phone prompts you with
“Which Number?” and displays a list of options. You can
select an option by saying it or by using your keypad.
Calling Nicknames
Your Contacts list incorporates a field called “Nickname.”
When you add a nickname to a contact, you can say the
contact's name or nickname when using the voice features.
For example, if you have a contact, “John Smith” stored in your
Contacts list, and you add, “Dad” to the nickname field, you
can call that contact by saying, “Call John Smith” or by saying
“Call Dad.”
Calling Phone Numbers (Digit Dialing)
To voice dial a number that is not stored in your Contacts list:
ⅷ Say “Call” followed immediately by a valid string of digits
to be dialed, for example, say “Call 555 555 5555.”
Speak naturally and clearly and remember to speak one digit
at a time—1-800 should be pronounced “One Eight Zero
Zero.”
Tip:
If your Contacts list contains a name that you have difficulty
using with the voice features (such as some unusual or
foreign names), you can add a nickname for that contact that
spells out the proper pronunciation of that name.
