You can create a completely new message or supplement a (canned) stored message.
Easy way to write a message
To make it easier to write short messages, your phone has a predictive text input system. To create a word, all that is needed is a single keypress on the key for every letter that the word contains. The system then suggests the most common word.
While composing the message and depending on the selected
mode (predictive or normal), you can use the key to access the following options:
Send: send the message.
Directory: find a name in the directory.
Scheduler: copy the details of the appointment.
Save: select the current word or letter being entered.
Validate word: select the word suggested.
Other words: access the list of other suggested words.
Insert digits: insert figures in the text.
Predictive or normal: choose the data input mode - predictive or normal.
Punctuation: insert a punctuation mark or a symbol in the text.
Add word: store a new word in your dictionary.
Back: return to the message.
Exit: return to the standby screen.
