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.)
