Thanks Mairead. Yup, when I tried it, I found the same thing just now. It takes a bit of getting used to, especially when you are being bombarded with a choice of numbers to press while simultaneously trying to find the right keypress in time. Good point about the telephone banking, wonder if anyone knows a way around that one? Well, I've learned something new today anyway. Kind regards Paul -----Original Message----- From: vicsireland-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:vicsireland-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Mairead O Mahony Sent: 01 February 2012 12:14 To: vicsireland Subject: [vicsireland] Re: iPhone and Numbers Hi Paul, When I need to use the keypad on the iPhone I can only find it by taking the phone away from my ear and when the lowd speaker comes on all the numbers on the keypad will be displayed on the screen. Then just double tap on which ever number you want to press and it is entered. The main disadvantage to using the keypad is if you are doing something like your phone banking instead of going online you will be only able to use the keypad if the phone is on lowd speaker. I haven't found any other way of using the keypad.
