iPhone Tip- Can’t Call With A Dead Strip?

I recently encountered a problem where a dead strip appeared on my iPhone across where the 4, 5 and 6 buttons leaving me with a functionless dial pad. So how do I call?

There are other ways to type numbers on your iPhone without using the dial pad. For me I had to call Apple and schedule a repair so after Googling the support number, it came up in Safari and I could call it from there.

Another way would be emailing a list of numbers to yourself directly from the iPhone. The numbers are callable from Mail.

  1. You may want to look at the screen protector that you put on. I had a dead screen also right after I put on that invisible shield. People think that is safe when it isn’t. Even invisible shield says it safe. But nothing that uses solution or a type of glue can be safe for this type of product screen. Lucky for me apple replaced mine in 2 days(brand new).  So before you go blaming the product you may want to look elsewhere. The only screen protector I would use is the one sold in the apple store. I believe it comes in a gold sleeve. It uses static to attach itself to the screen. Something like boxwave’s screen protector. It is build to be able to be removed and best of all can be reused again.
