Entering Text

When using your phone, you will often need to enter text, such as when storing a name in Phone Book, creating your personal greeting or scheduling events on your calendar. You can enter alphanumeric characters by using your phone’s keypad.

Your phone has the following text input modes:

•T9 mode

This mode allows you to enter words with only one keystroke per letter. Each key on the keypad has more than one letter; for example, when you press the 5 key once, J, K or L displays. T9 mode automatically compares your keystrokes with an internal linguistic dictionary to determine the correct word, thus requiring far fewer keystrokes than the traditional Alphabet mode.

•Alphabet mode

This mode allows you to enter letters by pressing the key labelled with the letter you want. Press the key once, twice, three or four times until it displays.

•Number mode

This mode allows you to enter numbers.

•Symbol mode

This mode allows you to enter various symbols and special characters.
