Geoff, thanks once again for recommending the MJ app for the iPhone. It did indeed let me use an already-existing number, so I am as happy as a clam!
I agree with you that it is probably best to relabel the buttons for brevity's sake, but it's not a show stopper, in terms of usage, if you don't. This is a very accessible app and works very nicely with VoiceOver.
