voice commands. The majority of the voice commands will be covered

and will also be indicated with the voice icon shown below.

after the tone to call Johnny Doe on mobile. Say 3 after the tone
to call Jane Doe at home.” Or, “Say 1 after the tone to play John
Doe, Say 2 after the tone to play Johnny Doe.
