Hear who is calling
Know who is on the line before you reach the phone.
A phone can read the caller’s name out loud while it rings, instead of only showing it.
The name comes from your contacts. A number nobody has saved is read out digit by digit.
Key points
- A phone can read the caller out loud while it rings
- The name comes from contacts; anything else is read as digits
What to remember
- It sits with the phone settings, not the ringer.
- It says what it knows: a saved name, or the digits.
