The following are some things you can do with your phone, using your voice:


Call someone from your contact list	"Call contact name" (where contact name is the name of someone in your contact list) If the person has only one phone number in your contact card, the call will start. If he or she has multiple phone numbers, you'll see an option to choose one.
Call any phone number	"Call phone number" (where phone number is any phone number, whether it belongs to a contact or not)
Redial the last number	"Redial"
Send a text message	"Text contact name" (where contact name is the name of someone in your contact list) This will start a text message to that person. Then you can dictate and send the message—hands-free.
Call your voicemail	"Call voicemail"
Open an application	"Open application" or "Start application" (where application is the name of any application on your phone, such as "Calendar," "Maps," or "Music")
Search the web	"Find search term" or "Search for search term" (where search term is what you're looking for) If you say "Find local pizza," for example, Bing will bring up a map of nearby pizza places
