Edit Number before calling,

Hi, I am a new iphone user,


Is it possible that you can't edit the number before calling, sometimes I need to add some symbols for calling back or doing other services.


Also, why iphone don't give a list of expectations to phone numbers when typing some numbers.



iPhone 11, iOS 16

To start a call in the Phone app , dial the number on the keypad, tap a favorite or recent call, or choose a number in your contacts list.

Dial a number

Siri: Say “call” or “dial” followed by a number. Speak each digit separately—for example, “four one five, five five five….” For the 800 area code in the U.S., you can say “eight hundred.” Learn how to use Siri.
Or do the following:

1. Tap Keypad.
The Phone keypad. Along the bottom of the screen, the tabs from left to right are Favorites, Recents, Contacts, Keypad, and Voicemail.
2. Do any of the following:

* Use a different line: On models with Dual SIM, tap the line at the top, then choose a line.
* Enter the number using the keypad: If you make a mistake, tap the Delete button.
* Redial the last number: Tap the Call button to see the last number you dialed, then tap the Call button to call that number.
* Paste a number you’ve copied: Tap the phone number field above the keypad, then tap Paste.
* Enter a soft (2-second) pause: Touch and hold the star (*) key until a comma appears.
* Enter a hard pause (to pause dialing until you tap the Dial button): Touch and hold the pound (#) key until a semicolon appears.
* Enter a “+” for international calls: Touch and hold the “0” key until “+” appears.

3. Tap the Call button to start the call.
To end the call, tap the End Call button.
