2.3 Phone Pad

Phone Pad is a Soft Input Panel (SIP) application that provides a flexible alternate input method. With it, you can easily switch among three input modes (T9, Multi-Tap, and Numeric) plus a Symbols menu, with greater convenience.

Using Phone Pad

Phone Pad can be activated at any time, except when in the Today screen or when in Camera mode. To use Phone Pad, tap-and-hold the Keyboard icon which is shown near the lower right corner of your screen, next to the triangular-shaped menu icon. Then select Phone Pad from the menu to open the Phone Pad input panel.

Using T9 to Input Text

By default, Phone Pad is in T9 mode. It is the easiest and most convenient way to input text in English. As you press alphanumeric buttons on the Phone Pad input panel, T9 tries to automatically match the letters you have selected with the most likely completed word.

To type a word: Simply tap on the numeric keypad.
