Key points about Phone voice commands

Unlike other voice commands, the Phone mode is always active, so you don’t have to first say “Phone” to switch modes. If you do say "Phone" first, the command still works.

Contact names must be said exactly as entered in your phonebook. Giving the location as part of the "Call" command, such as "Call Mom at home," is optional, but helps streamline the voice dialogue.

With the "Dial" command, use the words "star," "pound," and "plus" for the symbols *, #, and +. Say "Delete" to delete the last character. Say "Clear" to delete the entire entry and start over.

There is no voice command to end a call. To conclude a call, press the Phone button or wait for the other party to disconnect.
