Voice Dialing using cell phone to Bluetooth

[Greschler]

Is it possible to voice dial on your cell phone and have the Bluetooth connect the call when the other side picks up? I have a Verizon LG VX8300 and I can use the one touch speed dial on the handset to connect the call via Bluetooth, but not the voice dial where you can usually hit a button and say "call home" and if it is programmed it will work. In the car while blue tooth connected, it don't work.

Is this a blue tooth compatibility issue (I am still within 15 days and could get a different phone) or another Verizon evil deed against Bluetooth or it just does not work that way?

Thanks

I can voice dial two ways....I can call by

saying the number....then hitting the "off hook" on steering wheel.

I have also added "voice tags" to 20 of my numbers after I downloaded them from my address book....but car doesn't want to let me do this while I drive, even though it will let me hit speed dial entries.

I have RAZR /Cingular.....

In any case, voice tags are added only after you have the numbers in the car phone book.....you could say anything you want for each entry, but I just said the name to program voice tags.

good luck...

I hit the talk switch on the steering wheel and say either 'dial by name" if I have the name already programmed in or I say "Dial by number" and say the number. Then in either case, press the off hook switch on the steering wheel and it dials and I am connected

The '05 model was not equipped with voice dial. Using my Motorola RAZR, I've been able to dial from the mobile phone and then talk via the Prius's hands-free system when it's connected over Bluetooth.

OK, but can you voice dial on your Razor then pick it up on the Prius's hands free system over the Bluetooth?

Thanks, Renocat...I think I should have been saying Dial by Name after hitting the talk switch....it usually comes up...and says "Say the number" but if I intervene and Say "Dial by name" it should work!!

I have been using speed dial so much, I stopped playing with voice dial, even though I have tagged the numbers with voice...

Because the Bluetooth hands-free system is connected, I think it "mutes" the mic on the phone and I don't believe you can, but I don't know that I've ever tried to find out. Obviously the functionality/behavior of your particular model of phone somehow works into this equation, too.

It makes sense that the mic would be muted. I did not think of that. Thanks.

i have the same phone, but an '06. i mostly dial on the mfd using speed dial, but have also added voice tags to call hands free. not sure about the '05, but my phone seems to be able to access all of the bt features easily. i had to read the guide to input correctly, program the speed dials, and voice tags, but all work great. good luck

I haven't tried voice dial from the phone, but I do know I can dial from the phone while connected to the Prisu bluetooth. For example, if I call my voice mail I have to put in my code. I can't do that from the MFD screen while moving, but I can input my code on my phone's dialpad and I hear the numbers being entered through the car's speaker.

So perhaps the mic is still functional, as is the phone's keypad.
