How to Turn Off Voice the Control on an iPhone 4
An iPhone's voice control tool dials numbers by matching your voice with the names of contacts stored in your phone, or based on a number you speak into the phone. By configuring the phone's passcode tool, you can disable the voice dialing feature when the phone is locked and prevent accidental calls.

Tips & Warnings
The voice control tool for the phone's iPod application cannot be disabled. This tool activates when the iPhone's home button is held down for several seconds. To prevent accidentally activating the tool, avoid holding down the home button and try not to keep the phone in a pocket or other confined space where the button could be inadvertently pressed.

This does not seem to help at all. If the home button is still held in for a few seconds it prompts the voice control. I have had numerous times where I ended up calling someone and not knowing it. Is there a way to remove that?
