Try hit more on the lower left hand corner of the keyboard and it will then
bring up the symbols and numbers and you can find the at sign somewhere
there as well as numbers. Then, in order to get back to the letters you
will have to hit that more button on the lower left corner of the keyboard.

HI Sieghard,
Thanks for that most comprehensive explanation!
What I am trying to do is to enter a user name in the incoming and outgoing
mail server fields. This is where I am now not seeing the @ sign; I just
have the spacebar in that bottom area of the screen as you described. It's
probably just a field where I can't use the @ sign!
I am using an Iphone 4S running IOS 6.1
Thanks!
Debbie

Hi Debbie,
Can you tell me exactly where you are when you are looking for the @ symbol?
The fact is that in designated email fields, for example, when you enter the
"To" address while you are composing an email, the @ symbol is just to the
right of the space bar and to the right of that is a period, then you have
the Return key.
I suggest you try this out. Open the Mail app and double tap on "Compose" at
the bottom right.
Your cursor will now be placed into the "To" field.
Find the Return key at the very bottom right, now move your finger slightly
left or just flick left once.
Voiceover will announce "period"
Move a bit more left or flick left againand you now hear Voiceover announce
the @ symbol, after that you have the space bar.
OK, now double tap in the message body field.
Now check your onscreen keyboard, once again focus Voiceover on the "Return
button.
Move left or flick left and you will find that both the period and @ are
gone and you are immediately on the space bar which now takes up the entire
area.
Now touch and release the "More Numbers" button.
Find the 0 at the very right of numbers row. Just below at the very right
edge is the " symbol, one symbol/space to the left of it is now the @
symbol.
In fact, here is everything you have from left to right in that second row
(I am spelling out most of the symbols to make them read correctly):
Hyphen comma Slash Colon Semicolon Left Paren Right Paren Dollar AnPercent
At quotation mark In the bottom row in between the "More Symbols" button on
the left and the "Delete" button on the right are most of the punctuation
symbols:
Period Comma Questionmark Exclamationmark Apostrophy
In certain fields like a field where always the email address is required
which often includes login fields on web pages, the @ symbol and the period
will be on the main letters keyboard to the right of the space bar so it's
easier and faster to find them.
The same goes for fields where a URL is expected, you often have a Slash,
period and even a ".com" key on the main letters keyboard and of course if
strictly numbers are possible you may end up with a numerica phone keypad
instead of the regular onscreen keyboard where you have to first switch to
More Numbers. I actually wish developers would use this feature more often
because in many apps like for banks or credit cards, it would make much more
sense to have just the numeric keypad show up when it is necessary to enter
one's credit card number, but usually the regular keyboard is displayed.
Good luck,
Sieghard

Hi Mike,
I'm beginning to wonder if you are correct in that the developer can
determine what type of text field to use as now that I've turned on
punctuation in the rotor and set it to some and and then to all, in both
cases the @ sign appeared when entering an email address. However, in
settings, when trying to enter an email address the @ sign is not there!
Thank you!
Debbie

I have seen this a few times, I think it depends on what you are entering, I
find when I need to enter an email address, it does show up. I think
developers can indicate what type of text field they want to use.

Hello,
I have noticed that the @ sign has disappeared from my onscreen keyboard!
Anyone have any ideas of what may be going on?
Thanks!
