Entering Text

At many times while you are using your phone, you need to enter text, such as when storing a name in the Phonebook, writing a new message, creating your personal greeting or scheduling events on your calendar.

You are provided with the following text input modes:

T9 mode*

This mode allows you to enter words with only one keystroke per letter. Each key on the keypad has more than one letter – when you press the 5 key once, J, K or L may be displayed. The T9 mode automatically compares your keystrokes with an internal linguistic dictionary to determine the correct word, thus requiring far fewer keystrokes than the traditional ABC mode.

ABC mode

This mode allows you to enter letters by pressing the key labelled with the required letter once, twice, three or four times until the letter displays.

Number mode

This mode allows you to enter numbers.

Symbolic mode

This mode allows you to enter special characters.
