Richard,
If you don’t have any external keyboard, how do you “hide the keyboard”? Thanks.

Pressing this will change the phone number layout to the following four lines: Line 1: 1, 2, 3 Line 2: comma, 5, Semicolon Line 3, Star, 8, Pound Line 4, Shift, Plus, Delete The comma will insert a pause. the Semicolon will cause the dialer to wait until you issue a command. If you know the series of numbers you will have to enter but aren't sure of the wait time, use the Semicolon followed by the next series of numbers you know you have to enter. Say you want to call your bank and you have to enter a 10 digit account number followed by the pound sign after an unknown length of time. When you enter the number for that contact, enter something like: Main number, semicolon, account number, Pound To do this you would enter the main number, hit the shift key, then the semicolon, then your account number, then hit the shift key again, and select the pound symbol. When you then have it dial that number, when the bank system starts talking, you will have to hide the keyboard. then, in the lower left corner of the iPhone screen you will find a button that says "dial X pound, (where x is the numbers you entered after the semicolon of course,) so you double tap that when it is ready to take the next set of numbers. This is probably better done with a braille display since you have to be able to hear both the automated system and your iPhone, but it is doable.
