Hi. The comma system works great with both credit card and bank account numbers. I was skeptical at this but tried it with my credit card and bank and it worked perfectly. I entered my card number and commas but did not enter my security code, since it is not hard for me to type in 4 or 5 digits verses the 16 digit card number. I have heard that if you use a semicolon between sets of digits, then to prompt the phone to dial the digits, you double tap the screen when you want the next set of digits to be entered. I can think of times when this would be helpful too, like when having to enter a long series of digits that may be deeper into the process, like at step 4 or 5. Thanks to these methods of entering long series of digits, I don't feel quite as anxious about cutting my phone line, where I could physically press buttons to enter the digits on my home phone.
