With PCS Voice Command:
You can store all your contacts’ phone numbers, so you can simply say
the name of the person you want to call.
There’s no need to punch in a lot of numbers, memorize voicemail
passwords, or try to dial while you’re driving.
You can call anyone in your address book – even if you don’t
remember their phone number.
It’s Easy to Get Started
■
Just dial
from your PCS Phone to activate the service and
listen to brief instructions directly from your phone. There is a
monthly charge for PCS Voice Command.
Creating Your Own Address Book
You can program up to 500 names into your personal address book, with
each name having up to five phone numbers. That’s 2,500 phone
numbers – and with the advanced technology of PCS Voice Command –
you can have instant access to all of them.
There are four ways to update your address book:
Use Voice Recordings:
Simply dial
and say, “Add name.”

your personal address book. Your address book can store up to 20 voice
recorded names at once.

Once you’ve signed up for PCS Voice Command and created your

the name of the person or the number you’d like to call. For
example, you can say, “Call Jane Smith at work,” “Call John Baker
on the mobile phone,” “Call 555-1234,” or “Call Bob Miller.”
