remember their phone number.
It’s Easy To Start
Just dial from your Sprint PCS Phone™ to activate the service. You can also dial (or press and hold ) to go through a Sprint PCS Voice Command tutorial directly from your phone.
You can choose Sprint PCS Voice Command as your free option when you sign up for the Sprint PCS Advantage Agreement
SM
or you can add on Sprint PCS Voice Command for $10 per month in addition to your normal monthly service plan rate.
Create Your Own Address Book
You can program up to 300 names into your address book, with each name having up to seven phone numbers (Home, Work, Mobile, Pager, Data, Fax and No Label), 1 Email, 1 Web, Ringer and Picture. Totally 500 phone numbers, 300 e-mail addresses and 300 web addresses can be stored – and with the advanced technology of Sprint PCS Voice Command – you can have instant access to all of them.
Tip:
You can also call Voice Command from the main menu. See page 9 for instructi ons.

There are four ways to update your address book:
Choose Sprint PCS Voice Command and receive a fully
functional web-based address book where you can create and update your contacts for free at www.talk.sprintpcs.com.
Upload your contacts from Microsoft® Outlook®,
Microsoft Excel and other personal information software into your address book for no additional charge.
If you don’t have a computer or Internet access handy,
you can have Sprint PCS Directory Assistance look up phone numbers for you and automatically add them to your address book. Just say, “Call operator,” and we’ll add two names and numbers to your address book for our standard $0.99 directory assistance charge. Each additional update added during the call is $0.50. Simply dial and say, “Add name.” You will
then be asked to say the name and number you want to add to your personal address book. Your address book can store up to 20 names at once.
How It Works
Once you’ve signed up for Sprint PCS Voice Command
1.
and created your address book, all you do is press
(or press and hold ). You’ll hear a tone followed by the prompt “Ready.” After the “Ready” prompt, simply say, in a neutral
2.
voice, the name of the person or the number you’d like to call. You can say, “Call Jane at work,” “Call John on his wireless phone,” “Call 555-1234” or “Look up Bob.” The number will automatically be dialed. Keep in mind
3.
that Sprint PCS Voice Command recognizes not only your voice, but any voice, so others can experience the same convenience if they use your phone.

Storing Special Numbers in the Phone Book
Using the Pause Feature

Rather than entering the numbers manually each time, you can store the numbers in your Internal Phone Book, separated by special characters called “pauses”.
Using Two Different Types of Pauses
There are two different types of pauses that you can use when storing a number in your Internal Phone Book.
Timed pauses

Using Hyphens
You can add hyphens to your Internal Phone Book numbers, however they are mainly for show. You can insert hyphens manually where you like, or choose automatic hyphenation, which inserts hyphens according to the North American Numbering Plan. Entering a manual hyphen suspends any automatic hyphenation for that number.
Using Different Dialing Methods
Prepend Dialing
Prepend dialing allows you to alter a phone number in your Phone Book by adding additional numbers. For example, if your Internal Phone Book entry was entered without an area code and you are out of town, you can prepend that entry with the appropriate area code.
