Keypad doesn't work on connected calls that require keypad entry

I have a problem I see earlier in the discussion forum. But I thought it might make sense to start a new thread. The keypad doesn't work when I'm connected to a number that then requires keypad entry.
For instance, calling my own home voice mail (not the cellphone voice mail), I'm asked to hit * then enter my home phone number. The keypad goes black on me. Sometimes it won't work at all; sometimes the * works, then it goes black on the first number; sometimes I get two or three numbers, then it goes black. But I never get all the way through.
Since my home phone is Verizon, I thought it might be a Verizon/AT&T problem. So I tried it on some other numbers that require keypad entries after I get a connect. Same problem.
I've talked it through with Apple Support. They agreed it was a problem and sent a replacement phone. It arrived this morning. Same problem with the replacement phone. And that's the bare phone; none of my software loaded. I simply moved the Sim card to the new phone and called my home voicemail number.
I've also checked with my daughter who also has an iPhone 3g. Same problem. I have an appointment with my local Apple store this coming Friday. We'll see what happens. But it doesn't look good.
Anyone have any thoughts?

No case. I do have an anti-glare film set but it's certainly not the problem. This connected keypad problem is the only place it occurs. If it were a problem, one would likely see it with more apps. In addition, it occurs with the new iPhone Apple sent me and with my daughter's phone.
Try it on yours. See if it works.

  • I accidentally put a passcode lock on my iPhone and I forgot what I set for it, is there a way to take it off without accessing the phone? I have restored my phone but it doesn't work, is there anybody that could help me please?

    You can't "accidentally" put a passcode on any iPhone...its a multi-step process. Further, restoring an iPhone will remove the passcode, as the passcode is not included in an iPhone backup.
    Are you sure you're talking about the phone passcode & not something else...like the "Restrictions" passcode?

    You are saying the phone is locked, but then you are saying there is no provider. The two situations cannot peacefully coexist. Contact Apple and they can tell you if the phone is locked and if locked to which provider the phone is locked. People on this board are not Apple employees and cannot get you that information.

    currently i am working in InDesign CS5.5 version 7.5
    i am working on a project that requires working with another person who is using the latest version of CC,
    how will CC effect my current project and will i be able to share the file ?

    It could be a one way trip.
    There have been instances where your older version was more stable for CC as an exported idml.
    Prior to ver 7 (?) text engines were occasionally updated which would cause text to reflow in later versions.

        tfoxx,
    We want to make sure that everythig is working on the device without any kind of issues. When did you notice that the dial pad went away once a phone call is made or received? Do you have a screen protector on the phone that covers the sensors on the device? Please keep us posted.

  • Ringer doesn't work for incoming calls

    My iPhone 4 ringer won't work for incoming calls. It is not on vibrate only and the ringer works through the earphones when earphones are connected. Any suggestions?

    Thank you so very much.
    . Simple yet perplexing.. I bought the waterproof case and had them put it on before leaving the store.. GRANTED, I never read the instructions.. Just knew it must have been something in the way I programmed the phone. I especially loved that you put up an illustration with your explanation.

  • Keypad doesn't work during voicemail

    When I access my voicemail, I can listen to the first message, but when I try to use the keypad (7, 9, etc), it doesn't work. The numbers I'm hitting show up on the screen, but the vm isn't deleted or saved so I can't listen to the remaining vm.
    The keypad works for everything else, just not when I'm trying to navigate through vm.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Please see the link in my auto-sig on this post for proper backup instructions. If you can keep your BB running, regardless of what the display shows, you should be able to take a backup...and you really really really need a solid backup, given what you are describing (it could get worse as time passes).
    Good luck!

  • Keypad doesn't work

    Since upgrading to InDesign Mac 10.0.4, my keypad no longer works for typing numbers. When I type on the 10-key pad, it moves my cursor around in the textbox instead. I don't have a number-lock key on my Mac keyboard. Any ideas on how to fix this?

    I'm having a similar problem with InDesign CS2, Mac OSX 10.3.9. Occasionally the delete keys and the arrow keys do not work in InDesign. When I press them, nothing happens. It's random and it isn't associated with any particular document. I haven't figured out what fixes it it; it just ends starts working again later. It doesn't happen in any other program.

  • Nokia e7 - doesn't work the voice call

    Hello! I have nokia е7 with latest OS. I can't force to work a voice call. When pronouncing a voice tag occurs nothing. In what there can be a problem. Thanks.

    Phone work under Nokia Belle Refresh 111.040.1511.
    I have 601 contact in my phone.
    I want to make some adjustment to my post. I can call by voice only if I press link on app "Voice command", then say contact name and then, after some detection phone call to the contact person. My question was - If I could just say contact name WITHOUT touching phone to call to thecontact person. (And if answer is - NOT, could I make it with Garniture). Thank you!

    Try removing your case.  If still an issue, take it in to Apple.  You have a 1 year warranty.

    Hello,
    Service call is a special type of form (Different from marketing documents) That's the reason why it is not working.
    It will not work
    To do:
    1. Create an editbox , connect to the OSCL.cUSTOMER Fields, and define your CFL over it.
    2. Hide the original item "14"
