Use voice dialling when the screen is locked
For information on using voice dialling, see Dial by contact name using
voice dialling.
If you turn on the preference to use voice dialling when the screen is
locked, you access voice dialling by turning on the screen if it is off (see
Turn the screen on/off), and then pressing and holding volume. You do
not need to enter your PIN or password to unlock the screen.
If this preference is on and you have a headset attached to your
smartphone, you can access voice dialling when the screen is locked by
pressing and holding the button on the headset—you don't need to turn
the screen on first.
TIP If your company issued your smartphone to you, check with your system
administrator about whether the company has its own settings for locking and
unlocking the screen of your smartphone.
