Review the No Contract, Unlocked phones we stock and preconfigure for you - just open the box, plug in, and start using!

Liberty Vocal will work with MOST Bluetooth cell phones. Phones with built-in voice dialing will be faster and easier to setup.  Be sure the phone supports VOICE DIALING OVER BLUETOOTH and ideally DIGIT DIALING BY VOICE. Unfortunately Broadened Horizons is unable to recommend specific models as it is impossible for us to test all of them. When explaining to a cell phone store representative, Voice Dialing over Bluetooth means if you push the button on a Bluetooth headset you would hear the phone's prompt for a voice command through the Bluetooth headset such as "Say a command".  Digit Dialing by Voice means there is a voice command available such as: "DIAL 6-1-2-8-5-1-1-0-4-0". The phone must support the Bluetooth HSP Hands-Free Profile, (only a few Bluetooth phones from 2006 or earlier do not).

Android

Liberty Vocal works perfectly with Android phones running version 2.2 Froyo firmware or newer.  Prior versions of the android operating system simply do not support Voice Dialing over Bluetooth.  To confirm which version you have, open SETTINGS, then ABOUT PHONE, then SOFTWARE INFORMATION.

T-Mobile Comet is not compatible with Liberty Vocal or VoiceBT or any device that requires a Bluetooth pin code.  Will pair but WILL NOT CONNECT.  Works fine with our switch enabled speakerphones that do not require Bluetooth pin code.  As of 01-26-11 -could be resolved through update in future but dubious.  Lots of customer complaints about Bluetooth connectivity online.

Google Voice Dialer is standard on Android 2.2 to but lacks voice confirmations.

RECOMMENDED: Choice Dialer Plus Free - best name and digit voice dialer with voice confirmations, control music, audio books, and movies, open GPS navigation to a specific address, set a reminder, check the time, find a contact, and more ALL by voice combined with Liberty Vocal. Inexpensively upgrade for $5 to also dictate text messages, dictate e-mail messages, and dictate contents of new scheduled calendar item.  [One limitation, someone must tap SEND button on the touchscreen to transmit the text/e-mail message, though we are working with the developer to overcome this]

SETTINGS- Set all 4 options to Car Mode, enable digit dialing, enable media commands, etc.

TIP- Say "Open Voice Search" or "Vlingo" to take advantage of specific features of other voice control apps

Google Voice Search with Voice Actions - FREE from Android Market and when combined  with Liberty Vocal you can USE ONLY YOUR VOICE call anyone, dictate text messages, e-mails, update Facebook, Twitter or Foursquare, search the web, navigate to a location, and much more (sending text, e-mails, navigation require tapping the send button on touchscreen).  To launch Voice Search directly install Ear Buddy from android market or alternatively say: "Open Voice Search" when prompted by Google Voice Dialer.

Talking Caller ID Free- hear who is calling when you are unable to see the screen of the phone

Vlingo InCar - Dictate and send a text message using only your voice! However, only use it with practiced contacts because if it does not understand the contact name or you have multiple matches, it will prompt you and you will have to tap the screen of the phone. Audio stays in phone, does not route through Bluetooth speakerphone.

REQUIRED SETTING - disable wake-up command

iPhone

Liberty Vocal works perfectly with iPhone 3GS running version 3.1 firmware or newerand iPhone 3.0.  Prior versions (iPhone 3G or 3GS ver 3.0 firmware) simply do not support Voice Dialing over Bluetooth.

In your contact list, create a VOICEMAIL contact with the number to be dialed.  Then simply say "call voicemail" as any other name and you will be connected with your voicemail system.  Some voicemail systems will automatically play any NEW voicemails without needing to push any buttons.  Due to technical limitations it is impossible to dictate a command to dial any individual digit while you are connected to a call.  A digit can be sent using the round knob button on the Liberty Vocal control switches if you are able, but typically it is more convenient to simply tap the appropriate button on your phone keypad.  Some individuals may need assistance.
 

Third-party services can send your voicemail to you as text, SMS, e-mail, or check your voicemail using your computer.
