Let me try to explain it differently. When you add a new contact, or add a phone number to a contact, you can build in pauses for numbers like when calling the bank to check your balance, or calling a conference line, etc. A comma puts in a short pause and sometimes you may need two or three commas to pause long enough before entering the code or next set of numbers. The layout on the numberpad is as follows. Line one, 1, 2, 3. Line 2, 4, 5, 6. Line 3, 7, 8, 9. Line 4, Star, 0 Pound, Line 5 Shift, plus, delete. That last line is a bit lower on the screen. When you activate the shift key, the numberpad will be this: Line 1, 1 dimmed, 2, dimmed, 3 dimmed. Line 2, comma, 5 dimmed, semicolon. Line 3, Star, 8 dimmed, number sign. Line 4, shift, plus, delete. You only have 4 lines of symbols. The dimmed ones simply mean they are not available once you activate the shift. So, if I am calling my office to get voice mail, I would call something like: 541-888- then wait for the recording to say to enter my extension, so I would enter 971-123,4567, then a shorter pause when it asks me to enter my 4 digit pin, 1,2,3,4 followed by the pound sign. The way that would look when I am finished is: 541--,,,971-123-4567,1234# If you do not have punctuation turned on, it is: 541-888- comma comma comma 971-123-4567 comma 1234 number sign. It looks wordy and is when trying to explain it, but once you have experimented a few times, I hope you find it useful, Richard “Definition of an expert: An ex is a has-been and a spirt is a drip under pressure.” – Bruce U.

You are in a way, of course somebody has to first have your iPhone and if it is locked it needs to be unlocked before they can go look through your contacts. I guess you could always label your bank's telephone banking number Uncle Bob in which case it is even less likely somebody would open Uncle Bob's contact entry to see what numbers it may contain.
