You will still need to at least know the basic VO gestures. There is not that much risk of error. Besides, if something happens to the keyboard, you do want those VO gestures.

thought I would copy and paste this from the Apple website for when you set up so you have some reference. Good luck
Learn VoiceOver gestures on iPhone
When VoiceOver is on, standard touchscreen gestures have different effects, and additional gestures let you move around the screen and control individual items. VoiceOver gestures include two-, three-, and four-finger taps and swipes. You can use different techniques to perform VoiceOver gestures. For example, you can perform a two-finger tap using two fingers on one hand, one finger on each hand, or your thumbs. Instead of selecting an item and double-tapping, you can use a split-tap gesture—touch and hold an item with one finger, then tap the screen with another finger.
Explore and speak items on the screen
To explore the screen, drag your finger over it. VoiceOver speaks the name of each item you touch. You can also use VoiceOver gestures to explore the screen in order, from top to bottom and left to right.
Action

Select and speak an item
Tap or touch the item

Speak the entire screen from the top
Two-finger swipe up
Speak the entire screen from the selected item
Two-finger swipe down
Pause or continue speaking

Drag a slider
Tap the slider to select it, then swipe up or down with one finger; or double-tap and hold the slider until you hear three rising tones, then drag the slider Start or stop the current action (for example, play or pause music or a video, take a photo in Camera, start or stop a recording, start or stop the stopwatch)
Two-finger double-tap
Dismiss an alert or return to the previous screen
Two-finger scrub (move two fingers back and forth three times quickly, making a “z”)
Edit an item’s label to make it easier to find
Two-finger double-tap and hold
Tip: As an alternative to selecting an item and double-tapping to activate it, touch and hold an item with one finger, then tap the screen with another.
Use gestures to control VoiceOver
Use these gestures to control VoiceOver.
Action

Mute or unmute VoiceOver
Three-finger double-tap.

If both VoiceOver and Zoom are enabled, use the three-finger triple-tap gesture.
Turn the screen curtain on or off

(When the screen curtain is on, the screen contents are active even though the display is turned off.)
Three-finger triple-tap.

If both VoiceOver and Zoom are enabled, use the three-finger quadruple-tap gesture.
Use a standard gesture
Double-tap and hold your finger on the screen until you hear three rising tones, then make the gesture. When you lift your finger, VoiceOver gestures resume.

For example, to drag a volume slider with your finger instead of swiping up and down, select the slider, double-tap and hold, wait for the three tones, then slide left or right.
Open the Item Chooser
Two-finger triple-tap.

To move quickly through the list of items, type a name in the search field, swipe right or left to move through the list alphabetically, or tap the table index to the right of the list and swipe up or down. You can also use handwriting to select an item by writing its name.

To dismiss the Item Chooser without making a selection, double-tap.
Use the VoiceOver rotor
You can use the rotor to change VoiceOver settings, jump from one item to the next on the screen, select special input methods such as Braille Screen Input or Handwriting, and more. For details, see Control VoiceOver using the rotor on iPhone.
Use these gestures to use the rotor.
Action

...okay!
Everything crossed I can set this up successfully on Thursday.
Apple accessibility already told me that there is an on board voiceover training  present, providing guidance for using an external keyboard as well.
Thanks everyone.

Subject: Re: limitations of an unlocked iphone?

actually nothing whatsoever.
I only recently found a keyboard that will support the phone  for more typing then anything else. Then there was  all the time spent choosing a voice that hopefully will not  stimulate my brain's dizzy centres. still you have confirmed that wifi does not require  a service provider of any  kind, which is appreciated.

Hi folks,
Am hoping to get a basic answer without needing to join another list.
I have an unlocked iPhone 5.  I have no desire to get it subscribed
to a  service unless absolutely needful as it will not be used for phone calls.
However, I may not have a choice, which is why I am asking.
If I keep the phone unlocked, will I still be able to use it for
other  things?
Or more correctly, what can I do with an unlocked IPhone?
thanks,
Karen
