Guest jhew Posted June 26, 2003 Report Share Posted June 26, 2003 Just got an email from Orange, about a new voice activated dialling trial they will be running. Here's the blurb.... Trial Name: Voice Activated Dialling. Trial Details: Orange are looking for a number of triallists to take part in the trial of a new voice activated dialling service which is due to start at the end of July. The service will not only allow you to call your friends and colleagues using voice activation but you will also be able to create and manage contacts using voice, internet and WAP technology. Incentives: Access to the service will be free of charge to all triallists. Start Date: 31/7/2003 End Date: 30/9/2003 Sounds pretty cool! :) But I guess it's about bloody time! It's a feature I took for granted on my old Nokia 8210. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rob.P Posted June 26, 2003 Report Share Posted June 26, 2003 YES IT IS GUYS, click on the homepage link at the bottom, it will then show you all the available trials, by default when you log in it takes you to the screen for trials you have registered for. As for when the Music Lounge trial ends I think it's the end of this month, can't remember for definate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest FrankyG Posted June 26, 2003 Report Share Posted June 26, 2003 Sorry, but where do you sign up? Is there a link on the Orange home page or am I barking up the wrong tree completely? FrankyG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted June 26, 2003 Report Share Posted June 26, 2003 www.trials.orange.co.uk Looks like its a "call this number and speak to the voice rec' there" type thing though, not extra software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rob.P Posted June 26, 2003 Report Share Posted June 26, 2003 So more like they are making improvements to "Wildfire" then, I used her a couple of times in the early days but she wasn't worth it then, not for an extra £10 per month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ClintEastman Posted June 26, 2003 Report Share Posted June 26, 2003 No, not there for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a £10 one off connection charge. The charge is also waved if you have infront. Used to have wildfire, took it off other day though. She kept confusing people Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Big Ron - No Longer a Mem Posted June 27, 2003 Report Share Posted June 27, 2003 You might wanna get Big Ron to look it over 1st ! :) Looks genuine to me. But I've got different reservations about "Voice activated dialling". You're talking confidentially to your mate about "that sh*thead who thinks his Nokia PHONE is the best thing since sliced bread, what does FRED know about phones?" and what the phone "heard" was "mumble mumble PHONE FRED mumble mumble". So it does EXACTLY what you told it to. And he gets to listen in to the rest of your conversation. Slightly different reason to be VERY careful. But if it lowers the current number of pedestrians mowed down by morons trying to steer, change gear AND hold a phone at the same time, I guess it's step in the right direction. A few years back I lost three aquaintances to people doing EXACTLY that. I was the last person to speak to one of them - it still sends shivers down my spine.

Guest Brody Posted June 27, 2003 Report Share Posted June 27, 2003 Found the trials by clicking the "future trials" link before logging in! There are three entries for Voice Activated Dialling, whats that all about?! :? And they still don't show up in my future trials when i'm logged in!

Guest Dylan Posted June 27, 2003 Report Share Posted June 27, 2003 I can't get it either. Not fair!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jhew Posted June 27, 2003 Report Share Posted June 27, 2003 Perhaps it only shows up on your future trials screen if they have, or plan to, send u an email about the trial. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Big Ron - No Longer a Mem Posted June 27, 2003 Report Share Posted June 27, 2003 "All I asked for was a frikkin' phone with a frikkin' laser beam!" It's available as an optional extra for the Ericsson T300! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest midnight Posted June 29, 2003 Report Share Posted June 29, 2003 what the hell is the point of that? laser pointers are cheaper and also fit on a keyring (also a bit off topic for voice activated dialling innit? :)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
