I don't know what all the fuss is about. dialing a number with the onscreen
keyboard is one of the easiest things to do. If you set typing mode to
"touch", its even easier.
I've never needed to use the headset, just adjust the volume as needed for
the environment.
When I first went to the iPhone from a Nokia using Talkx, I too was worried
about not being able to make a call under pressure or when I really needed
to do so. So, My first priority was to master the phone app, then move on to
other less important functions. Within a week I was using the iPhone like an
old hand, and I'm nothing special believe me. It's mostly the fear of change
and a new way of doing things that seems to get in newcomer's way.
Jump in with both feet and you'll be handling the phone like an old hand in
no time.
The iPhone will unlock unimaginable vistas in accessibility for you if you
keep an open mind and have a willingness to try new things.

Hi,
Making calls on the iPhone is significantly easier when using a headset. It
is then possible to use the on screen keypad to type numbers.

Karen and all:
For the possible benefit of anyone thinking about switching to the i
phone, I am happy to explain my experience.
I purchased my i phone in mid April but did not change my mobile provider
until early May. I did this so that I could become used to how the i
phone functioned and using the touch screen before vital transactions
depended on my ability to use the phone. I am very glad I did this.
Another thing that has helped is a screen protector with raised dots sold
by Speed Dots. I know there are some who assert this should not be
necessary however, I believe we should use what makes sense for us as
individuals. I find that it provides landmarks for orientation on the
screen.
I have been told that one must have access to the internet in order for
siri to work. Perhaps someone on the list can confirm this? If this is
the case, then utilizing siri for making calls etc would work as long as
an internet connection is available. This might not be a problem for many
but for me, it is necessary that I know how to manage without siri as well
as with it.
I have gotten pretty good at using my i phone and while I still find
making calls involving many number sequences problematic at times, it is
offset by the other things the i phone does well. I don't know how to
input menu sequences such as those described by someone earlier. Perhaps
you could give us the steps to do this?
Finally, as a new user I am happy to answer any questions about the
learning curve, at least from my perspective.
Jean
