Pressing a key repeatedly cycles you through all of that key’s options. To enter a letter, press the appropriate key repeatedly until the desired letter appears. Continue this process until the word or name is completed.

Note: If the next letter in the word you are entering is on the same key, wait two to three seconds for the cursor to advance, then enter the new letter, or press 0 to advance the cursor.

Important: Your phone’s language settings may affect the characters associated with your phone’s keypad.
