Hi, I have gotten in the habit of doing a three finger triple tap, and then a two finger double tao to answer the iPhone. I reverse the process when I hang up.
Also, when I am riding my bike with a blue tooth headset, I turn voice over off with a three finger triple tap, before I ride, , so I can answer the phone with the headset with out voice over interrupting. The option to turn Voice over off during calls is something I have been asking Apple for since I got my iPhone 3 years ago. Of course, there would need to be a way to have voice over announce the screen if needed during a call.
