If you’re like most iPhone users, you probably rely on the touchscreen to input text and numbers. But if you want to dial a number or letter on your iPhone, there’s a specific way to do it. Here’s how:

  1. Tap the “Phone” icon on the Home screen.
  2. Tap the “Dial” icon in the upper-left corner of the screen.
  3. Enter the phone number or letter you want to dial in the text field at the top of the screen, and then tap “Dial.”
  4. The phone will start ringing and you’ll see a dialing animation onscreen as your call is connected. When it’s finished ringing, tap “End Call.” ..
