Greetings Ramsfan010, 


It sounds as though you’re asking about the Announce Calls feature, and if it’s compatible with the EarPods that came with your iPhone. Apple Support Communities is a great place for help!


Announce calls is only available on supported headphones and CarPlay. The headphones that support this feature would be AirPods Max, AirPods Pro, AirPods (2nd generation), and Powerbeats Pro. This information can also be found in the following article.
