then the answer for me, is no. which is why I asked. As expressed I
read in many
places that the simplicity of making effortless phone calls is not what one
does with an iphone.
I want feedback, but at my ear like other phones I use, have used. if
the iphone does not provide this feedback to me and only to me, then I
will just skip it.
Thanks for your perspective.

In that case, if you don’t want any feedback from your Iphone while entering
numbers, how can you tell where you are? You cannot hold the Iphone to your
ear and dial digits. It just aint gonna happen. IF you want privicy,
earphones is the only way to get it for sure. IF you don’t want that, than I
wonder whether the Iphone is the best choice for you.

Hi,
oh and I forgot an element, using no earphones whatsoever?
my phone is a phone, I hold it to my ear, I want the speech in my ear etc.
Thanks for your input,
it is not a matter of the computer voices not shutting up. it is a matter of
the iphone providing the equal of touch tone information that another system
recognizes.
wanted to clarify since this is a 100% deal breaker for me.
I do not want to require an ear piece every time I make one of these calls when
working between appointments. equally I do not want my phone talking in a
fashion where others can hear.
thanks for the wisdom.
Thoughts?

Karen, based on what I understand you are saying, you should be able to do it.
I used to have more problems with that, but that got corrected. Now they on
screen keyboard comes up and you can hear VoiceOver while those awful computers
are still talking and won't shut up. I have found it sometimes to be a little
easier to use the earphones, but that's not essential. Like I said, this used
to be a problem, and I think that's why you were told it couldn't be easily
done.

Hi folks,
I read often that it is difficult if not impossible to dial in a traditional
way using an iphone.
here is a simple example.
Let's say you are traveling, you must dial a location, then a user number, then
an a password. you then must make a series of choices from a menu.
these choices change based on information presented.
I realize many of you use your iphone for a number of different things.
However, I am asking about this specific task. can it be done often with
changing flexibility and effortlessly?
Thanks,
Karen
