Is there a built-in voice command to call back the last inbound caller?

[waqqas31]

Something like "Return call" or "Call back" for after when you miss a call, for example.

Apparently "Callback" works; but not for me

What happens when you try it?

It tries to call similar names in my address book.

Say "What can I say?" and then the commands you get are the ONLY voice commands you can use.

That's great. I'm glad MS actually implemented a dynamic "apps" subsection for voice commands that lists all installed apps that offer custom commands, along with examples. That's the kind of foresight I like to see!

Actually, there are probably others, as that command doesn't list "Redial," for example.

Yea, "Redial" works for me, but's it's not listed...

Hmmm...

What if you don't know who called, you just want to call back the random number? Personally, I would just say "Call XYZ on Mobile" to call them. If it is a question of not knowing WHO called you (using bluetooth and don't want to get the phone out), you can have your phone announce the caller instead of a ringtone.

How does the redial work?

 

[waqqas31]

Just say "Redial" to redial the last outbound number in your call history!

Well waqqas31, that works! How did you know that? I don't mean to take this off topic, but is there a definitive list of commands that WP8 does recognise or are we going to have to keep guessing???

I'm not sure of a "definitive" list, but the official Windows Phone site has a list:

Use Speech on my phone | Windows Phone How-to (United States)

Also, Windows Phone Central did an article a while back about it:

Voice Controlled: A guide to using speech with Windows Phone 8 | Windows Phone Central

Look at the comments section in that article too!

+1 for 'Redial' works a treat on my Bluetooth headset.

Thanks Hypnopottamus. It's there in the list in your first link. Doh! Clearly I hadn't got desperate enough to read the instructions!!! Thanks again.
