Hi, Sorry if this has already been mentioned as I wasn't closely following this thread initially. I recall hearing some people mention that they would like a keypad or something similar in order to place calls to people that aren't in their Contacts. I've found that when in FaceTime, just entering a phone number in the search field will allow this. So, I enter 800-555-1212 for example, Interact with the Search results and see the phone number with options of FaceTime Video or FaceTime audio. I Interact again then VO-space on the FaceTime Audio option and a menu appears. the confusing part for some here may be that the "Call Using iPhone" is dimmed. This is because it is actually just a heading within the menu choices. If you arrow down further you'll see the phone number again, just press return and the call will be placed.
