Entering Text

While using your phone, you will need to enter text at many times. For example, when storing a name in the Phonebook, creating your personal greeting or scheduling events in your calendar. You can enter alphanumeric characters into your phone by using your phone’s keypad.

You are provided with the following text input modes:

T9 English: This mode allows you to enter English words with only one keypress per letter. Each key on a keypad has more than one letter - a single

press on could be J, K or L. T9 English mode automatically compares your key presses to an internal linguistic database to determine the correct word. T9 English mode requires far fewer keystrokes than the traditional multi-tap method, Alpha(ABC) mode.

Alpha(ABC): allows you to enter English characters by pressing the key labelled with the desired character repeatedly until the character displays.

Symbol: allows you to enter various symbols and special characters.

Number: allows you to enter numbers.
