Hi Kelly, Well, maybe Apple needs to get its act together and beef up its back and a bit so it can be more like Google in that respect. We are paying big bucks, and we deserve good service no matter what time of day. Don't you agree? Mary Sent from my iPhone On Sep 28, 2013, at 6:22 PM, Kelly

Hi Susan, I can't answer your question about iOS 7, because I have not yet upgraded. However, there is a workaround for the problem of voice over speaking when you are on a call. Just make voice over focus on something specific on the screen, such as the end button. Then it no longer speaks
