Sprint PCS Voice Command goes national
The new content is an expansion of Sprint PCS Voice Command and is available at no additional charge and requires no additional set-up. Current Sprint PCS customers can conveniently access the information using the same Voice Command steps that they utilize today—just press *TALK; after the "Ready" prompt, simply say, "Call Weather," "Call Traffic Reports" or "Call My Email."
Sprint PCS Voice Command is a network-based voice-activated dialing and information service. Sprint PCS Voice Command enables customers to safely and quickly access important people and information in their business and personal lives, extending the clarity and simplicity of Sprint PCS to a new level. Sprint PCS Voice Command provides each customer with a personal Web page to manage, organize and easily enter up to 2,500 numbers in an extensive address book, eliminating the need to voice train each entry. By using their voices, Sprint PCS Voice Command customers can dial, look-up directory names, modify their address book entries, and perform various speech-enabled, voice- independent functions while using any Sprint PCS Phone.
Sprint PCS Voice Command is available immediately to all Sprint PCS customers, and now for a limited time, Sprint PCS Voice Command is free for three months on any service plan, then $5 per month.
The new voice-controlled information services enable customers to listen and respond to many popular email services and Sprint PCS Wireless Web mail, access stocks, travel and traffic updates, daily horoscopes, TV updates and much more. Customers can also organize content by creating personalized folders such as "My Stocks" with the same personal Web page used to manage their phonebooks for voice-activated dialing.
"Sprint PCS Voice Command just became more powerful. We have taken the same superior clarity offered by Sprint PCS when making voice calls and combined it with the best web information content," said Charles Levine, president of Sprint PCS. "Sprint PCS is the first and only wireless carrier to offer nationwide voice-enabled web services to customers for access to email and powerful web content when they need it, anywhere on the Sprint PCS nationwide network, from any Sprint PCS Phone."

Initial voice-enabled web services will include Stocks, Sports, Newsroom, My Quick List, Email, Weather, Traffic, Horoscopes, Travel, Entertainment and Tools.
