Using a headset may help in terms of hearing Voiceover over your call. If my keypad is hidden I usually touch just above the home key and find the End Call button, then I swipe left until I get to keypad or you can just touch the phone about where the volume down button is and you should find the keypad button there. The following is a list of the buttons you have on the screen during a call if the keypad is hidden (that is from top to bottom):
Name/number for your call Time elapsed Mute Keypad Selected, Speaker Add Call Facetime Contacts End Call I put "selected" in front of Speaker because this is what Voiceover says if speakerphone is active, it will just say "Speaker" if it is not, e.g. if you are using a headset. If you touch End Call above the home key, you would have to swipe left 5 times to get to the Keypad button. I hope this helps, sometimes I find it much easier to find something if I know what is there and I can visualize what the screen layout looks like.

It is a bit challenging to hear the numbers over the instructions from the service you are calling. If it is a place she calls regularly, and the options are consistant, you can program them into the phone number. Edit the phone number in the contacts, then at the lower left of the keypad there is a shift key, double tap that, or if she is using touch typing, just touch and lift, then just above that she will find a comma. Each comma represents a pause. It seems to be about 3 to 5 seconds, I'm not exactly sure. So put in one or more commas, then the number that needs to be pressed and so on. It may take a little trial and error, but once it is working, you don't have to mess with trying to enter numbers while listening to the recorded menu.

She can't find the numbers to push when she is on the call; and I rarely do this on my phone. Doesn't she have to have her keypad showing to do that and how can she get it to show up once she has enter the call with the options she needs to do?
