Text entry

•Press the * key to display the characters and scroll to highlight the desired character, then press Select.

Important: Some networks may not support all language-dependent characters.

Use special characters in phone numbers

You can enter certain special characters in the phone numbers you save. Press the * key repeatedly to cycle through the four special characters available for phone numbers.

*This character sends command strings to the network. Contact your service provider for more information.

+This character is used to link a 1-touch dialing location to the number currently being entered.

pThis character creates a pause that occurs when the phone dials a number. Numbers entered to the right of this character are automatically sent as touch tones after a second pause.

w This character causes the phone to wait for you to press Send.

•WRITE WITH PREDICTIVE TEXT

Predictive text input enters text quickly. Predictive text uses a highly compressed database (or dictionary) of common words and tries to anticipate the word you are entering.

Watching predictive text guess a word can be confusing, so you should disregard the screen until you enter all characters.

Example: To write “Nokia”:

What you press	What you see
Press the six key - N	O
Press the six key - o	On
Press the five - k	Onl
Press the four key - i	Onli
Press the two key - a	Nokia
