Hi Sieghard and everyone, Sieghard, Thank you for your response -- I appreciate you so very much. I have the dead phone plugged in and hope it is going to back itself up to iCloud. I think I have done this before and hope that it can find it in its heart to automatically do so now (smile)!
I have tried with my bluetooth keyboard, but the phone is locked and doesn't seem willing to connect. I have one more question: if you all had an iPhone 5 with a touch screen that does not accept touch input with or without Voice Over turned on, and if you very much wanted to get your contacts off of said phone, would you go to the store of your carrier (AT&T) or would you go to an Apple Store. I am wondering which store is more likely to have staff and equipment that could pull contacts off of this phone. Thanks again for your thoughts. Terrie who is eagerly awaiting her new iPhone 6 Plus which should arrive today!

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!
