How to Send Text Message with Voice?

[Legaleye3000]

When I say to tell someone, the car opens the phone tab. Works with some contacts but not others even though the car shows it is understanding the words I am saying. Any help appreciated.

All you say is "text xxx"

That’s what I did. Works for some contacts and others, like my wife, will just pull up the phone app on the screen and that’s it.

What's your wife's number saved as? A mobile number or a work/home number?

Her name (rather than “wife”) and it’s saved as a mobile number.

Hmm, that's weird. I was thinking maybe if it's stored as "Home" or "Work" that it would try not to text that. I've not had it fail before. For users with more than one number, it pops up a screen to let me select which number I want to use. I am on an iPhone FWIW.

Same here.
