Pressing a key repeatedly cycles you through all of that key options. To enter a letter, press the appropriate key repeatedly until the desired letter appears. Continue this process until the word or name is completed.
Note: If the next letter in the word you are entering is on the same key, wait two to three seconds for the cursor to advance, and enter the new letter, or press 0 to advance the cursor.
Important: Phone language settings may affect the characters associated with the phone keypad.
For example: to enter the name “Albert,” do the following:
Press | Displayed text |
2 for A | A |
Al | |
2 for b | Alb |
Albe | |
Alber | |
8 for t | Albert |
Note: Default mode is sentence case where the first letter of a name or sentence is automatically capitalized. Phone book default mode is title case where the first letter of each word is capitalized.
