[Electronics-talk] Seeking Suggestions TO Improve Dial Speed on iPhone

[Rob Tabor]

Good morning all,

 

Though I have generally conquered the touch screen technology of the iPhone,
there is just one little albeit sometimes pretty steep hill to climb. In
using teletouch services involving entry of a long string of digits on the
dial pad, it seems nearly impossible to dial the numbers fast enough to get
the info I am looking for without being timed out by the system, e.g., a 16
digit account number to find out how much I owe in the current billing
cycle. I do own and use the Apple Bluetooth qwerty keyboard but the last
time I tried it with a teletouch service it did no good to try dialing on
the keyboard numbers, so I had to try to move to numbers with the arrow keys
and cord the up and down arrow keys to enter them one by one, and it still
wasn't fast enough. I currently use a 3G iPhone. Any suggestions for
wrestling the beast to the ground are well appreciated. Sometimes I miss a
good old fashion keypad for dialing.

TIA and best regards,

Rob "Jayhawk Bob" Tabor
