Sorry if I didn't understand well.  I thought the problem was accessing the voice mail; so it's only an other way to do it  Lyne Le 22 févr. 2026 à 11:00, 'Richard Turner' via VIPhone <viphone@googlegroups.com> a écrit :  Lyne, I'm not understanding what this has to do with an external number pad?       Richard, USA, he only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance." -- Alan Watts (1915-1973)   My web site: https://www.turner42.com     From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Lyne Sent: Sunday, February 22, 2026 7:50 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Cc: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: for folks who have trouble dialing an iPhone or using a phone response system   Hello, I didn't read all conversation...

The description indicates that this is intended for a laptop. I can see no online info that would suggest that this would work for an iPhone.     +Peace & Blessings,  Duane  Phone (276) 730-5194   On Feb 21, 2026, at 6:08 PM, donmoor...@gmail.com wrote:  Here ya go.

Here is a tactile numeric keypad that can plug directly into the USB port on an iPhone 15 or later. Earlier models would require an adaptor. To us it the consumer can open the phone app and then use the physical buttons on the external keypad to type the number and press the ENTER key to dial it. Once on a call they can use the physical buttons on this external keypad to type in input. That is good for times when complicated input is needed like typing in a credit card number.
