HI:
Are you familiar with the finger taps?  You need to know these in order to do a 
lot of these functions.
For example turning the phone off you have to two finger double tap in the 
center of the screen 
To turn the curtain on and off you have to three finger triple tap.
You can go to setting
general
accessible
voice over
 voice over practice
to get a handle on these
There is alsot he Look tell tutorial you can download.
You have to have the phone app open to get tot he number pad 
I don't usually use the phone to cll automatic number..use a land line but 
there is a way to do it but is cumbersome
Do you know about applevis.com??
There is a lot of useful information  on there 
Also, I can maybe send you some more stuff..I am not an expert but know a little
Also, some people use a blue tooth keyboard to do a lot of this stuff...I just 
do not but have one and keep saying I will get to it.
The phone is very useful for a lot of stuff...so stick with it..
it takes a while but you can do it.
HTH

  Subject: [BlindMobileTech] General questions about iPhone 4S


  Hi list

   

  It's Alvin. I am still getting use to using my iPhone 4S. 

  Some of the few situations I have been encountering are below. 

   

  I have been trying to figure out how to hang up the phone. 

  I usually find myself waiting for the other person to hang up first for the 
phone call to end. :) 

  It seems that I can't gain access to the keypad by touching the screen in 
order to end the call. Is there some special button I have to press first?

   

  Also, how do I turn the phone on vibrate? The only thing I have found is the 
sounds setting section that allows me to turn down the ringer's volume. Is this 
it, or is there another way? 

   

  Also How do you deal with the automated service calls? 

  The one where they ask you to press 1 for this or press 2 for that. :)

  I couldn't gain access to the screen to select one of the various options. 

   

  One more question: 

  I haven't had this happen yet, but how would I switch over to another 
incoming call while speaking to someone?

   

  I believe I have figured out how to turn on the speaker. I have accidentally 
hit the home button in the midst of a phone call in ended up on speaker phone. 
:)

   

  Well any info and assistance will be greatly appreciated. 

  In the meantime, I'll go and take another browse through the manual to see if 
there something I missed. :)

   

  God bless! 

   

  AC
