While on the call, the &#8220;keypad&#8221; shows, but there seems to be no way to turn on the speaker phone. The only time I can put my call on the speaker is before I connect with the party I am calling. Many a time in the past few days, especially while &#8220;on hold&#8221; it would have been easier to lay the phone down and turn the speaker on.
