residential telephone numbers, or

Tip:
If you know the phone number of a point
of interest (POI), its uniqueness makes it
the fastest entry method. When using the
voice control system, the entry should be
spoken as a continuous string of
numbers. For example, the telephone
number (310) 555-4000 should be
spoken as “Three, one, zero, five, five,
five, four, zero, zero, zero.”
