Entering Text
Your PCS Phone makes it easy to enter words, letters, punctuation, and numbers whenever you need to enter text (for example, when entering a Phone Book entry or when using the phone’s messaging features). They are:
T9Word: Allows you to enter text using a predictive text entering system that reduces the amount of keys that need to be pressed while entering a word.
Abc: Allows you to cycle through the alpha characters associated with the letters on the keypad.
123: Allows you to enter numbers by pressing the corresponding number on the keypad.
Symbols: Allows you to enter symbols using the keypad.
Smileys: Allows you to enter emoticons with your text message.
Canned Messages: Saves time by allowing you to enter
To enter text on your PCS Phone:
1.Display a screen that allows for text entry. (For example, saving a new contact name and phone number.)
2.Using the keypad to enter text, press the numbered keys repeatedly until the desired letter appears. (For example,
to type “Bill,” press 
twice, 
three times, 
three times, and 
three times again.)
After a character is entered, the cursor automatically advances to the next space after two seconds or when you enter a character on a different key. If you make a mistake
while entering text, press 
to erase one letter at a time,
or press and hold 
to erase the entire entry.
