Hi Terry,
If you had a Bluetooth keyboard connected to your iPhone you might be able to use it. If Bluetooth is off you might be able to ask SIRI to turn it on, but of course if you never had a Bluetooth keyboard paired with your phone that may not work if you can’t do anything. Also, if you use iCloud backups at least you can plug in your phone and hope that inside a 24 hour window it would at least automatically back up to iCloud.

I have ordered a new phone. But I want to get my current contacts off of this dead phone if I can. When I plug the phone into my PC, iTunes asks if I want the iPhone to send material to this computer. I say Yes and iTunes seems to send a message to the phone because it vibrates. then iTunes tells me to respond to the message on my iPhone, which of course I can't do. I foresee an Apple Store trip in my future. However, in the meantime, is there anything I can do to use this broken phone with iTunes? Thanks very much for your thoughts!
