Voice notification for incoming calls when using ipod?

PGL

Hi folks

I run on a regular basis and listen to the ipod on my iphone (which I put in an armband).

Using Voice Control makes it very easy to change tracks, call someone etc. However if someone calls me it would be great if I was notified automatically by voice who is calling me - otherwise you have to fiddle with the armband to try and look at the screen to see who is calling you.

Stopping short of a jailbreak can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

PS If this is possible it would be preferable if this sort of voice notification only kicks in when I have earphones plugged in / listening to the ipod - as you can imagine it would piss other people off if this voice notification was in operation under normal circumstances.....

Thank

I'm not aware of anyway of doing this, you could just have customised ringtones for different contacts so you know which ones you don't want to take

good idea - however can you customise it one step further that the customised ringtone only kicks in when headphones are plugged in?

I don't think so, if it's a case you don't people to know you have customised their ringtone on your phone, you could just customise the way the phone vibrates for their incoming call

I can't find a way of customising vibration for different contacts - can you?

thanks!

What type of iPhone do you have?

The only.way to do voice notifications is to create a ringtone for each contact. What I did was to use a voice synth program which I overlayed on a ringtone. I only did it for contacts that are importan. Used audicity, bit of work involved but only need to do it once

Provided you have the latest software the option to do so is in the contact itself
