Voice dialing
You can use Siri (iPhone 4S) or Voice Control to call someone in your contacts, or to dial a specific
number. See Chapter 4, “Siri,” on page 39 and “Voice Control” on page 30.
Make a phone call by voice: Activate Siri or Voice Control, say “call” or “dial,” then say the name
or number.
Siri: If the screen isn’t on, press the On/Off or Home button , then hold iPhone to your ear.
Voice Control or Siri: Press and hold the Home button until you hear the tone. You can also
press and hold the center button on the iPhone earphones.
For example:
Call John Appleseed Â

For best results, speak the full name of the person you’re calling. When voice dialing a number,
speak each digit separately—for example, say “four one five, five five five, one two one two.”
