Apple iPhone 4G - Manual (Page 61)

Dialing Manually
You can use the keypad to manually dial a phone number.
Dial a number: Tap Keypad, enter the number, then tap Call.
If you copy a phone number to the clipboard, you can paste it to the numeric keypad.
Paste a number to the keypad: Tap the screen above the keyboard, then tap Paste.
If the phone number you copied included letters, iPhone converts them to the
appropriate digits.
You can include a soft pause, which pauses dialing for about two seconds, or a hard
pause, which pauses dialing until you tap the Dial Button. Pauses can be useful when
dialing in to a conference call, for example.
Enter a soft pause: Press and hold the “*” key until a comma appears in the number.
Enter a hard pause: Press and hold the “#” key until a semicolon appears in the number.
Redial the last number you dialed: Tap Keypad, then tap Call. Tap Call again to dial
the number.
Voice Dialing
You can use Voice Control to call someone in your contacts, or to dial a specific number.
Note: Voice Control may not be available in all languages.
Use Voice Control to make a phone call: Press and hold the Home button until the
Voice Control screen appears and you hear a beep. Then use the commands described
below to make a call.
You can also press and hold the center button on the iPhone earphones to use
Voice Control.
Call someone in contacts Say “call” or “dial” then say the name of the person. If the
person has more than one number, specify which one you
want to call.
Examples:
 Call John Appleseed
 Call John Appleseed at home
 Call John Appleseed, mobile
Dial a number Say “call” or “dial,” then say the number.
For best results, speak the full name of the person you’re calling. If you speak only the
first name and you have more than one contact with that name, iPhone asks which of
those contacts you want to call. If there’s more than one number for the person you’re
calling, say which number to use. Otherwise, iPhone asks you.
