[Blindtlk] iPhone keypad question.

[Mike Freeman]

Judy:

As far as I am aware, your only option is to use earbuds, assuming you wish
to actively enter the information at the time you make the call. However,
you *can* set up a contact that will dial the bank's phone number, pause,
enter the account number etc. and, again assuming you do much the same thing
each time, you can enter the keystrokes with appropriate pauses to get
account balances etc. automatically. Then you can just dial that contact and
let it do its thing while you hold the phone up to your ear. That's what I
do when calling my local Wallgreen's pharmacy to reorder drugs.

Personallly, I don't care who hears what! I'm not sufficiently rich for
anyone's ears to prick up at my account balances.

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?
