Angie, Actually, the beauty of doing this is that you only have to do it once and then each time you call that contact, you don’t have to touch the screen at all.
This works great for conference calls when you have to call into a particular number, enter an access code, etc. Or banks, or whatever. Also, if you have a landline that you can call to get voice mails, etc. At my work, there is a number I can call, then put in my desk phone number, then my 4 digit pin followed by the number sign to check voice mails. It is fabulous to be able to do that just by selecting that contact, which I have as one of my favorites so it takes maybe three or four taps on the screen and I’m accessing my voice mail. Yes, it is a bit of a pain to set up the first time, but it is a heck of a lot easier than having to dial the numbers, even if you have a push button secondary phone.

When you are creating the contact, put in the bank’s phone number. After the number, put in a few commas then type in whatever you would normally put in after the bank’s phone system answers. For example, if you normally put in your account number then press pound, put in pen, press pound again, you would put in the following as the phone number: Bank phone number,,,accountnumber#,,,yourpen# You put in the comma by double-tapping on Shift then finding comma. You need to do this for each comma.

With inputting the numbers from the screen, you would need to be real quick for it to work, and some of you might be quicker than me at doing that. ----- Original Message ----- From: Angie Nutt<mailto:an...@comproom.co.uk> To: viphone@googlegroups.com<mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com> Sent: Friday, January 04, 2019 3:36 AM Subject: Re: Using Your iPhone Without a Touchscreen In my job I come across plenty of people who have either tried and don’t like the touch screen or have tried and just can’t get on with it. While I personally use the touch screen most of the time I can appreciate why buttons are useful as in making phone calls and I would probably find it quicker but I don’t use my iPhone as an actual phone that often. I am of course referring to numbers not in contacts being quicker to type on a hardware keyboard. I also know quite a few who really loved their original RIVo and those who have the RIVO 2 seem to feel the same. Personally, I just couldn’t get my head round it; it just isn’t for me.

I understand that there might be a few cases where a person for whatever reason can't touch the phone, e.g. if they are quadriplegic, have no hands etc. Apple and now Google have put a lot of very smart people to work to come up with this incredible way to make touchscreen devices extremely accessible, apps like Flicktype make typing very efficient with a bit of practice yet some people still think they are better off trying to avoid touching that screen as much as possible. Maybe I miss something here, but I just don't get it.
