Wayne, I wish I had better news, but I too tried using the BT keyboard to enter numbers in a nautomated system like you were describing and it did not work for me. I sure wish it could work, as this is one of the biggest disadvantages of using a touch screen phone. The automated systems tend to expect fairly rapid entry, which is difficult on the touch screen, especially when entering a long string of numbers like a credit card number.
