Use Siri or Voice Control. Press and hold the Home button, say “call” or “dial,” then say the name
or number. You can add “at home,” “work,” or “mobile.” See Chapter 4, Siri, on page 41 and Voice
Control on page 29.
For best results, speak the full name of the person you’re calling. When voice dialing a number,
speak each digit separately—for example, “four one ve, ve ve ve….” For the 800 area code in
the U.S., you can say “eight hundred.”
