Hi Laura,
Yes, DJ's suggestion to turn Voiceover off will prevent the phone from switching to speakerphone automatically since without Voiceover it is normal behavior that a call remains on the earpiece or headset (if one is connected via wire or Bluetooth) until the user touches the speakerphone button which is active during a call. However, as DJ also said, without Voiceover you couldn't activate the button since you won't know where to tap and you might even have to first hide the keyboard before you see the Speakerphone button. Lastly, the triple click of the home key which turns off Voiceover if you have this configured in Settings, General and Accessibility, will only work right at the very beginning after you dial a phone number, the call connects and you have not yet raised the phone to your ear. As soon as you put the phone to your ear and then take it away the call goes to speakerphone and at that point the triple click home does not work any more. This is why I recommended you carefully test if the automatic switching behaves as it should which means it really should not switch unless you take your phone completely away from your head. One thing to keep in mind is that certain cases if they are not put on the phone properly may cause this switching because they might be too close to the proximity sensor and trigger the switching. The proximity sensor cannot be felt, but it is I believe between the upper edge of the phone and the opening in the glass where the earpiece is. Using a headset will also prevent this problem entirely, but it is of course not always practical or something you might want to do. Sorry if I repeated a few things here and went into a lot of detail, but I don't know how long you have had your iPhone and what you know and not know. As I said before, if this happens too often when it shouldn't happen and your phone is new it might very well be that the proximity sensor does not function as it should.
