OK, this is a pain to do, but if the function key doesn't work, try it
in the ma dialer, then in the phone's dialer try the folowing, with the
keyboard closed, arrow up until you hear something labeled, down once,
right two and down three. You should be on the pound. press that. now
play around around until you learn the default button, but you should be
able to tell by the tones. another thing to try is to use your keyboard
and try to find it after entering a number, any number. (note: with the
keyboard open the screen rotates a quarter turn counter clockwise).
Also, you may have to arrow right once before going up and with open up
once before arrowing left.) It is complicated, I know, but I think you
can get it. good luck. After some practice, you will get it and you
will know how to quickly get there.
I guess the problem hasn't been fixed. One more thing to try, many
phones have the pound key on the d or f key. Try pressing fn or alt and
then d or F while in a number box and see if that doesn't produce the
desired effect. maybe you can also assign one of the couple of
functions to similate the key press to.

Hello, Yvonne:
I am not sure how the sidekick works, but in my experience with these
qwerty keyboards, if you hit your FN, or ALT key, twice it would pull
up the symbols that you might be trying to type in. if that doesn’t
work then try calling T-Mobile tech support and let them know that you
are visually impaired, and they would try to help you master your
phone’s qwerty keyboard.
HTH.
Good luck.

Okay, tried both using the alt key and trying to use the keyboard on the
screen. Neither works. I get nothing when I use the alt key and I
get some
sort of list that isn't fully read by ma on the sidekicks screen.
This is
getting really frustrating. Are there any other suggestions?
Yvonne

Thanks, will give that a try. The alt key is that the one right next to
the space bar?
No, it's next to the left shift key on the Sidekick. The sequence on the
bottom row is left shift, alt, at sign, comma, space bar, period,
question
mark, the voice key, and the right shift key. The Sidekick's keyboard
isn't
quite layed out like a PC keyboard, and this row is a fine example of
that
fact.
