I need to correct Marianne on one thing.
Yes you did have internet connectivity when you were using Siri even in the
car. You may not have been on a wireless network, true, but you would have
been online through the celular towers through either 3G, 4G, or LTE.
Remember, if you're not on a wifi network then it just falls back to your
celular internet data usage.
Chris.

Karen, you can dial the phone by voice and I have not had much trouble
getting it to understand me even when I am giving numbers instead of one of my
contacts. There are key boards available for typing and you can use the
numbers at the top to dial a phone number. Someone thought you had to have
internet connection for Siri to work but that is not the case. I have used
Siri in the car and many other places where I did not have access to the
internet.

Hello everyone. I agree with Gigi here. It's a little more inconvenient to
dial with an IPhone but it's not that big of a deal for me.. On the other
hand, I can do so many things with my IPhone that the tradeoff is well worth
it. I have used talks with Nokia phones and it can never compare with the
versatility and functionality of an IPhone.

Cheree Heppe here:
Talks or mobile speak recommend button phones which they support.

Hi folks,
I do not want one truth be told. My goal is a phone with buttons, and while
some remain available from my provider, I may not end up with much choice
lol.
I understand from many using the iphone for dialing that it is slow and a
pain.
my questions are two, and very strict ones. do not mistake me, I know it is
fine as a smart device, but I am 100% firm on what I need in a phone only.
My questions are two.
can I do everything entirely by voice? speak the numbers, if for some odd
reason I want to send a text, etc.?
second, if I must add a keyboard for dialing, does one exist? not for
typing, strictly for dialing the phone.
I type 85 words a minute, I do not wish to spend time poking rapidly at a
screen trying to dial the phone.
so, are either of the two work arounds options?
thanks,
Karen
