[Description] When users type in a phone number field on a physical keyboard, the BlackBerry device switches to number lock mode so that users do not need to press the Alt key to type numbers. You can also allow users to perform the following actions in phone number fields: Type the plus sign (+) for international phone numbers. Type formatting characters such as the minus sign (-), period (.), parentheses (()), and spaces. Type a number sign (#) or an asterisk (*). Indicate a pause by typing a comma (,) or indicate a wait by typing an exclamation point (!). Indicate an extension by pressing the Alt key and pressing E, X, or T. When users need to type in a phone number field on a virtual keyboard, the number keyboard appears. You can also allow users to perform the following actions in phone number fields: Type a number sign (#) or an asterisk (*). Indicate a pause or an extension by holding the asterisk (*) key. Indicate a wait or an extension by holding the number sign (#) key. [Type of text field]
