Dialing Manually
You can use the keypad to manually dial a phone number.
Dial a number: Tap Keypad, enter the number, then tap Call.

Paste a number to the keypad: Tap the screen above the keyboard, then tap Paste.
If the phone number you copied included letters, iPhone converts them to the
appropriate digits.
You can include a soft pause, which pauses dialing for about two seconds, or a hard
pause, which pauses dialing until you tap the Dial Button. Pauses can be useful when
dialing in to a conference call, for example.
Enter a soft pause: Press and hold the “*” key until a comma appears in the number.
Enter a hard pause: Press and hold the “#” key until a semicolon appears in the number.
Redial the last number you dialed: Tap Keypad, then tap Call. Tap Call again to dial
the number.

calling, say which number to use. Otherwise, iPhone asks you.
