How does one make a call via voice recognition, and then answer the numerical prompts of a responding voicemail menu system? In other words, once your call is connected, and the response needs a numeric input from you, how do you do that without using the phone itself (which would defeat hands-free)?

Dash controls, not the phone.

Could you be more specific as to which dash controls for what?

on the steering wheel, left side there's a phone icon. hold it down and say the number including the area code. after that say "Dial Number." This should dial, assuming your cell bluetooth is paired to the car.

Sorry, this is what I mean:
Me to VOICE activated calling: "Telephone/phonebook"
"Call Mark"
Call activates/voicemenu over speaker: "Press 1 to leave a message", etc.

WHERE DO I PRESS 1???

the same buttons that you would use on the radio as the station pre-sets...

Actually, in my car once a call is initiated, you use i-drive and select the option for the numerical keypad to input numbers in response to VM prompts. (I kinda figured this out along with a tip from my BMW dealer).

press the voice command button then say

i. SAVE NAME
ii. DIAL NAME
iii. DELETE NAME

SAVE, DIAL and DELETE 'NUMBER' also works.
