• WRITE WITH PREDICTIVE TEXT

Predictive text input allows you to write messages much faster than the standard text method. With predictive text input, you only need to press each number key once for each letter. Your phone uses a built-in dictionary to predict or guess what you are writing. You can also add new words to the dictionary.

Since the displayed word changes after each key stroke, disregard the word until you have keyed in all the characters. If the finished word is not the

one you wanted, press the key until your word appears. If it does not appear you will have an option to spell your word using standard text input.
