• Voice tags are not language dependent. They are dependent on the speaker's voice.
• Voice tags are sensitive to background noise. Record them and make calls in a quiet
environment.
• When recording a voice tag or making a call by saying a voice tag, the loudspeaker is
in use. Hold the phone at a short distance away from your mouth and face so that the
proximity sensor does not turn the loudspeaker off.
Example: You can
use a person’s name for a
voice tag, for example,
‘John’s mobile’.
• Very short names are not accepted. Use long names and avoid similar names for
different numbers.
Note: You must say the name exactly as you said it when you recorded it. This may
be difficult in, for example, a noisy environment or during an emergency, so you
should not rely solely upon voice dialling in all circumstances.
Adding a voice tag to a phone number
Note: Voice tags can only be added to phone numbers stored in the phone’s
memory. See
‘Copying contacts between the SIM card and phone memory’
