KANSAS CITY, Mo.-In a move to strengthen its telematics strategy, Sprint PCS introduced Sprint PCS Voice Command, a network-based voice-activated dialing and information service.
Sprint PCS said it is the first carrier to provide each customer with a personal Web page to manage, organize and enter up to 2,500 numbers in an address book, eliminating the need to voice train each entry.
Users can dial, look up numbers and modify their address book, all using their voice.
The voice-command offering is available to consumers as an Advantage Agreement option that can be added to any Sprint PCS Free & Clear Plan. Customers who commit to Sprint PCS service for one year can select Sprint PCS Voice Command as one of their free options. Other customers can add the service for $10 per month, Sprint PCS said. Business customers who are part of a nationwide volume program can purchase the service for $5 per month.
