When I changed the setting to first name and last initial, it did not take effect immediately. So I powered the phone off and back on again. Now the setting change took effect.
The only complaint I have is that someone whose last name begins with "V" is spoken as "fifth" as in Michael Fifth. But that is not a big deal.

Interesting, I found options for first name and last name letter and went for that one and it still hasn't made any difference ... Perhaps they just can't all fit in the app switcher.

But all I hear is their first name (like Michael). I have several people in my contact list named Michael. How can I get more information about the contact that is in the app switcher? Even when I double tap on the name, I still only see the first name. Thanks for your help. Rob -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.
