Basics
Entering Text
Your Sprint PCS Phone provides four different ways to
enter words, letters, punctuation, and numbers whenever
you are required to enter text (for example, when
entering a Contact entry or when using the phone’s
messaging features). They are:
T9 (English) - Allows you to enter text using a predictive
text entering system that reduces the amount of keys
that need to be pressed while entering a word.
Alpha - Allows you to cycle through the alpha
characters associated with the letters on the keypad.
Symbol - Allows you to enter symbols using the keypad.
Number - Allows you to enter numbers by pressing the
corresponding number on the keypad.
To enter text using Alpha:
1. From a text entry screen (for example, a contact
entry), press and select Alpha.
2. Use your keypad to enter the contact's name. (For
example, to enter "Bill," press twice, three
times, three times, and three times again.)
