Sprint PCS Voice Command
With Sprint PCS, the first wireless provider to offer
innovative Voice Command technology, reaching your
friends, family, coworkers and teammates has never been
easier – especially when you’re on the go.
With Sprint PCS Voice Command:
You store all your contacts right in your phone, so you don’t
䊳
need to search through or keep a phone book close by.
There’s no need to punch in a lot of numbers,
䊳
memorize voicemail passwords or try to dial while
you’re driving.
You can call anyone at any time – even if you don’t
䊳
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

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®,
䊳
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,
䊳
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
䊳
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

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

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.

Viewing a Call Log (Outgoing,
Incoming and Missed)
You’ll find your call logs invaluable. They are a list of the
last 10 phone numbers or Internal Phone Book entries for
calls you placed, accepted and missed. Call logs make
redialing a number fast and easy. They are continually
updated as new numbers are added to the beginning of the
list and the oldest entries are removed from the bottom of
the list.
Each entry contains the phone number (if it is available)
and Internal Phone Book entry name (if the phone number
is in your Internal Phone Book). Duplicate calls (same
number in last 7 digits and type of call) may only appear
once on the list.

entering the numbers manually each time, you can store
the numbers in your Internal Phone Book, separated by
special characters called “pauses”.

hyphens manually where you like, or choose automatic

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
