Paste a number to the keypad: Tap the screen above the keyboard, then tap Paste. If the phone number you copied included letters, iPhone automatically converts them to the appropriate digits.

Jump to favorites from anywhere: Double-click the Home button. You can change this preference in Settings. See “Home” on page 147.

Bring up the last number you dialed: Tap Keypad, then tap Call. Tap Call again to dial the number.

Voice Dialing

You can use Voice Control (iPhone 3GS only) to call someone in your contacts or dial a specific number.

Note: Voice Control isn’t available in all languages.

Use Voice Control to make phone calls: 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 calls.

You can also press and hold the center button on the iPhone headset (or the equivalent button on your Bluetooth headset) 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:

 

ÂÂ

Call John Appleseed

 

ÂÂ

Call John Appleseed at home

 

ÂÂ

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 give only the first name, and you have more than one contact with that same name, iPhone asks which of those contacts you want to call. If there’s more than one number for the person you’re calling, specify which number to use. If you don’t specify which number, iPhone asks you which one to use.

When voice dialing a number, speak each digit separately—for example, say “four one five, five five five, one two one two.”

Note: For the “800” area code in the U.S., you can say “eight hundred.”

Prevent voice dialing when iPhone is locked: In Settings, choose General > Passcode Lock and turn Voice Dial off. Unlock iPhone to use voice dialing.
