Connie,
If you really want to just explore the screen and things like the numeric keypad and onscreen keyboard it may be easier to set your typing mode to standard. Of course you may already have it set to that as it is the standard. The other option here is touch typing. If you set it to touch typing then you can touch the screen all you want to find things, but if you have the keypad on the screen or the virtual keyboard then whatever you touch is being typed as soon as you lift your finger off the screen. Most people find this to be more efficient and faster. In standard typing nothing happens if you lift the finger off the screen. If, for example, you bring up the telephone keypad and touch the 5 (it should have a dot if you have the tactile screen protector) then you would have to double tap on the screen before it is being entered/typed. You can also find the number you want, leave your finger on it and tap the screen with a second finger to type it. This is what is called a split tap.

If you want to place a call, bring up the Phone app and double tap on the Keypad tab on the bottom of the screen. You'll now have a telephone style keypad on the touch screen. As Alex says, you can explore the screen just by moving your finger around on the screen. VoiceOver will tell you as you touch the numbers and other objects on the screen.

When you touch something on the screen while not in practice mode, that item is spoken as is any hint it has. I'm not sure I follow your question - if you know the iPod, then you know the iPhone. For dialing, just use the same keyboard input you are used to; touch the numbers until you find the right one, then either tap with another finger, double tap, or lift your finger, depending on your setting.

I went into settings. Then clicked on general,then accessibility. Finally, I clicked on voice over. In that section there is voiceover practice. I clicked on voiceover practice. I have the hang of flicking and tapping from my iPod. When I touch any of the dots on my phone all it says is"touch select item under your finger."Maybe I don't have things set up correctly? I'm trying to find out where the numbers are and find out what the different buttons are when I want to make a call. Sorry if I'm not being clear here. Thank you.
