Why is my cell phone keyboard not working when I'm on an international call?

This can happen when the number or service you are calling doesn't properly support DTMF tones. International standards aren't always the same as what the US and Canada use. Calling overseas can definitely be more hit than miss as well with DTMF support. In some cases, it's just too short for the receiver to pick up so try holding the number for at least 2 seconds. I'd you don't hear the tone when pressing the number, there usually is an option to turn that on in the dialer settings.
