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

[Alan Siman]

There are 2 things I do.

First I have those numbers included in my contacts so all I have to do 
is push one button on the hide keypad screen to have the additional 
digits put in for me. This is a little risky if your phone is stolen so 
you can password protect or if it should happen notify your credit card 
or bank.

Second use a headset which gives you better access to volume levels on 
the keypad.
