The blind use it for a middle ground, and can go from there and know where to press keys. Just like some computer keyboards have a bump on the F and J so they know where to put their index fingers, to line the rest of them up to type. hope uve learned! |

And if you listened closely, you'll observe that all numbers on a phone (whether touch or keypad) have different sounding tones. Just different enough for you to tell. Why? |

So that blind people can use it. The same goes for computers |

Don't u always wonder how blind people do dial numbers on phones, the answer is 5 is in the middle of the numeric pads through which wen doted they can trace their way to all other numbers, It is mainly for the visual impaired people |
