Nice question.. Its for the blind people to work with the fone.. By feeling the dots, they can relatively navigate to other keys.. Different fones have dots in different places.. U can actually feel it.. Moreover, if u check out the keyboard, u can find kinda ridge on the 'j' n 'f' keys.. Fr the same reason..
:D..

I am not totally sure, but I think it is to help blind people work out where the numbers are on a keypad. Some keyboards also have a dot on the 5, as do a lot of house phones, and cash machines.

So blind people can find it. Actually I find it useful to and I am not blind. Without looking I can find number 5 and then I can do any calculation. For the same reason there are dots in Letters F and J on the keyboard.

So that seeing impaired can find the right keys. You will aso find some dots/lines on your computer keyboard - on F and J, as well as on 5 on the numeric keypad

If it's dark or you are blind you will know where the center number is and figure the rest out.
