• WORKING WITH PREDICTIVE TEXT INPUT

The predictive text feature is based on a built-in dictionary to which you can add words. Your phone includes several different language versions of this dictionary. Although your phone can display a given language on the screen, it may not have a predictive-text dictionary of that same language.

By default, your phone is set in the traditional text input mode. Before you can use the predictive text input method, you must first activate the predictive text mode.
