Voice Control is fairly limited in its abilities, itcan read more than just a contact’s name. Specifically it can read from the nickname field as well. This means that you can tell your iPhone to “call Mom Mobile,” instead of having to refer to your Mother by her proper name.
But wait, it gets even more entertaining! Voice Control will understand just about any nickname you assign to a contact. For example, instead of saying “call Jeff Lauterette Mobile,” I say “call MacJeff Mobile” because we all know him as MacJeff unless you’re his wife then he is MacBobo..LOL… The possibilities are endless, and frankly the comical uses will likely outweigh the practical ones.
Of course the most important part of this tip is actually putting the info in the “Nickname” field. To do this from your iPhone, tap “Edit” on a contact, tap “add field” at the bottom, choose “Nickname,” and enter the nickname. Simple!
Enjoy! (thanks to iPhone Alley for this tip)
