I had a reason to try this sort of thing on a previous phone that the only way to dial was the touch screen, and I had problems dialing. I tried doing something, I think dial a number, while walking somewhere on the iPhone, and it was doable but slow. I doubt I could do it if I was trying to get away from something or somebody. Jordan

The conditions with which one must function in an emergency very widely. If I am moving away from a danger rapidly, rapid walk slow run, I myself doubt I would be able to get to my favorites with a cane in one hand and the phone in the other, and do so quickly. This may be just me, but I hope to never have a reason to try this. -Len On 6/24/2012 11:53 AM, Lois Butterfield wrote: > You don't need Seri to voice dial a number.
