							19Calls
 Voice tags are sensitive to background noise. Record voice tags and use them in a quiet 
environment.
 Very short names are not accepted. Use long names, and avoid similar names for 
different numbers.
Note: Using voice tags may be difficult in a noisy environment or during an 
emergency, so you should not rely solely upon voice dialling in all circumstances.

Options during a call
Many of the options that you can use during a call are network services. For 
availability, contact your service provider.
Possible options that your service provider may offer include conference calls, 
video sharing and placing calls on hold.

want to try a normal call or send a message instead.

down.
