[Blindtlk] iPhone keypad question.

[Judy Jones]

Well . . . I bit the bullet and got the iPhone with my upgrade.  I do have a question I haven't found an answer for.

If using the iPhone, say, to call the bank, when wanting to input account numbers, I find the keypad to be hidden, unless I hold the phone away from my ear to activate the speaker.  However, then is not private.  Is my only other choice the ear bud for audio privacy, or is there a way to get the keypad to stay active while the phone is close to the ear?
