Your phone provides three text entry modes to enter characters.

Selecting a text mode

Multi-tap (Abc) 7 Numeric (123) 7 T9 (T9Abc)

T9® Text input mode

The T9® Text input method enables you to enter text faster and
easier. You only need to press a key once for any letter you require
on that key. The desired letter may not be displayed. Continue
pressing other keys until the end of a word is reached. The program
searches its built-in dictionary to predict the word that most closely
matches your key presses. If the combination of letters typed has
produced a word which is not the one you require, press [5]
repeatedly until the correct word is displayed. In case the required
word is not in the internal dictionary, press [6] (Spell) to spell the
required word if “- - -” appears while pressing [5] to search for the
word, or use Multi-tap mode instead.
For example, to enter “Hello!” in T9® mode, press keys as follows.
T9®A predictive text entry system. You can enter a word with
fewer key presses.
Multi-tap A traditional way to type in a letter. Press a key several
times until the required letter appears.
Numeric You can enter numbers (0-9), e and r.

Displayed characters in the T9® mode vary depending on the T9 language
