If using iOS 6, you may need to turn punctuation to all in order to hear those symbols. Richard

Hello Mária, OK, just had to figure out how to do this when you use the regular Keypad in the Phone App, but here is how you do the + in both situations (when adding a contact and when dialing a number on the keypad): If you are adding a contact it's easy. Once you are in one of the phone number fields, a telephone style DialPad shows up instead of the normal virtual keyboard. Only difference is that to the left and right of the 0 you don't have the "Star" and "Pound", respectively, but a "Shift" key to the left of the 0 and the delete key to the right of the 0. If you want to put a + as the first character, just touch the Shift Key (you may have to double tap or split tap on it if you are still using iOS 5). Now the 0 to the right of it turns into a +, just touch it and the + is inserted into the field, now type your country code. When you are in the Keypad just to dial a number once you can, of course dial 011 followed by the country code, at least here in North America it is 011, I think in Europe in most countries you would just dial 00 followed by the country code, e.g. 001 for Canada/the US, 0049 for Germany, 0044 for the UK etc. If you want to dial the +, you can turn the 0 into a + in the same way you would bring up accented characters on the keyboard. Here is how: 1. Touch the 0 and then touch the screen with another finger, basically, do a split-tap. This will prevent the 0 being inserted/dialed as soon as you lift your finger. 2. Lift your finger after you touch the screen with a second finger. 3. Do a double tap and hold. You can do this anywhere since focus is still on the 0. You will hear the DialTone play as long as you hold down, hold maybe for a second or so and lift. If you check the Phone Number field at the top it should now have a + in it. Keep in mind that Voiceover does not seem to announce the +, but if you hold for a second or so it will be inserted. Give this a try and let me know if it works. If dialing 00 and the country code works for dialing directly I think that is easier than to do the split tap on the 0, then a double tap and hold.

Hi list, please does anyone know how to dial and call or save to contacts an international number in case I want to add plus (+) sign before the number? I mean the international numbers are in format: +xxxxxxxxxxxx. So the sign plus (+) is added at the beginning. Is it possible to imput plus (+) sign using Voiceover? I have read online that sighted people are able to do it by pressing and holding 0. I haven't figured out how to do that with Voice over. Thank you very much for your help. Have a great weekend.
