makes perfect sense.
for me though, there are just too many times places, extensions and so
forth for this to be reasonable.
I run both a production company and a media nonprofit. There are places
people etc. I may only call once, that I may only visit once etc.
My desire is taking out my phone dialing a call responding to what
is needful and getting on with my day. and indeed because of traffic,
other people near me, and the like I want the exchange to be between me
and my phone not me my phone and a bunch of strangers. same goes
for listening to text messages and sending them.
There are phones that allow for this, lg just issued a new one late last
fall its a 447.
I am in a circumstance where I can have whatever phone I said i wanted,
including any iphone from my provider for free just now. I had voted down an
iphone before, but wanted to check if anything on this front was
better...unfortunately it is not.
Thanks for your wisdom, I appreciate learning what I cannot do as much as
what I can.

Yes, and the commas you put before those extra numbers the longer the iPhone
waits before putting in the number. This will not work well for you if those
first extra numbers keep changing, unless you put in a separate contact named
so that you can tell which one you have. For example, Dallas Area Rapid Transit
has an option on their computer called Where's My Ride? I put in a separate
contact and deliberately named it Where's My Ride? instead of calling it Dallas
Area Rapid Transit. I hope this makes sense. I did this because the options for
calling up that particular choice was different from the scheduling choice;
sometimes I want scheduling and sometimes I want to check on the ride. Also, I
had to do it over traffic and other noises, and their awful computer kept
responding to any noise it heard.

Yes, you can, depends how fast you at flicking left or right, or finding the
dial numbers. Yes, it is slightly slower than what a sighted person can do.
If you are dialing a number and you know you will have to press 1 for english,
press 4 for your next option. You can save it to your contacts with a comma or
two for a few second delay and add the menu number. Say for example put the
number 8004561234,1,4 and that will choose the menu options automatically for
you, and you don’t have to do anything.
This is how I save my bus scheduling number. I just put my bus number and put a
comma then what ever menu option that you know you wanted. And you can do this
with banks with your account number.

Hi folks,
I read often that it is difficult if not impossible to dial in a traditional
way using an iphone.
here is a simple example.
Let's say you are traveling, you must dial a location, then a user number, then
an a password. you then must make a series of choices from a menu.
these choices change based on information presented.
I realize many of you use your iphone for a number of different things.
However, I am asking about this specific task. can it be done often with
changing flexibility and effortlessly?
Thanks,
Karen
