Motorola V180 voice name limit

Hi,
I have a Moto V180 phone on Cingular, and I'm adding voice names to all
the contacts in the phone book. First I had to transfer all entries to
the phone instead of SIM, which was no fun. And then I had to Google
for about an hour to figure out how to actually use voice dialing, as
there is no physical voice dial button on the phone! I ended up mapping
the right soft key to voice dial, which works great. Now, I can't figure
this one out. Once I add six voice names, it starts telling me "Unable
to store voice name". Why not?? I checked the memory, and there is more
than 1200KB left, so that is definitely not an issue. Could Cingular
have put a lock on the phone so that they would force you to use their
monthly voice dial service? That wouldn't be very nice...
Or maybe it's just another stupid Motorola bug. Anyone have some ideas?
Thanks!

Jordan

It's not a bug or a Cingular "feature" The phone offically has that many
slots for voice dialing and was intentionally set that way by motorola

Ridiculous,

My old Timeport (t270?) would only allow six voice entries and I just
thought it had no memory. Must be a Motorola "Feature".

Any idea if the V710 has this voice dialing "feature" also?

not sure about the v710 but the v300/400/600 can have 20 voice entries.

Thanks. Well, is there any particular reason why they would limit the
voice tags to 6? I can't think of anything.. Also, do you think it's
possible to find some kind of workaround to this? I would really like to
use the phone's voice dial, but six entries just won't cut it.

Jordan,
Can you tell me how you mapped the soft key to voice dial? I'm trying
to do exactly what you did and am frustrated at not finding any
directions....
thx,
Dixie

I Googled for a bit and found a Mobiledia thread on the topic:
http://www.mobiledia.com/forum/topic18612-0-asc-0.html

Copied from Page 2:
Actually, you can do a little better than that even. Go into Settings
and then Personalize. Choose Home Screen and then Home Keys. On my
phone, I assigned Voice Dial to the Right Soft Key. Now all I have to do
is open the phone and hit one key and say the name to dial. --BarracudaBob

Hope that helps!
