RE: dialPad staying on screen during calls
that's not dizzying. I've always done that with a traditional chordless phone, old telephone models, etc. It takes some experimentation to determine how many commas must be inserted for the correct pause length.

Here is what the Dresner book “Getting Started with …”says in regard to entering info such as account info or choosing menu items. It’s dizzying, and I doubt I could do it right off. See below. “If you want to call your bank and have your account information dialed at the appropriate time, or to call an office and have the phone automatically make menu choices for you when you call, activate the SHIFT button located below the 7. With SHIFT engaged, the 4, 6, 7, and 9 positions are occupied by the COMMA, SEMICOLON, STAR and POUND sign. There's a PLUS symbol to the right of SHIFT, and a second DELETE button to the right of that. The COMMA tells the phone to pause, making it possible to follow menu prompts and enter account numbers. Enter a COMMA symbol every time you need the phone to wait for a prompt. For instance, let's say your bank requires you to enter the digit 1 three times and then your account number when you call for information. You would enter the bank's phone number, then COMMA 1 COMMA 1 COMMA 1 COMMA followed by your account number. If you need a longer pause, enter two COMMA characters.” -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list. All new members to the this list are moderated by default.

Re: dialPad staying on screen during calls
The comma will pause the dialing briefly, then automatically dial the number(s) after it. If it's a sequence that requires you to wait for a prompt, use a semicolon. When you do, you first hide the keyboard, then you'l see a button labeled dial ###, where the number signs are the number you wentered after the semicolon. Hope that makes sense.

dialPad staying on screen during calls
On another list, someone stated that on the IPhone you could have the DialPad remain on the screen during a call. Is this possible and if so, how do you go about this? My main problem with making calls is when you need to press numbers to access the different menu choices on the call you are making.

Yes it is possible forbthis to work. When you call some one or when they call you and you answer the keypad comes up.

Re: dialPad staying on screen during calls
Honestly, I'm a bit confused. My dial pad always stays on the screen, unless I intentionally lock my phone or exit the phone app while the call is in progress. How are you making your calls, and are you doing anything during them that might cause the dial pad to disappear?
