Changing the Text Entry Mode

When using your phone, you will often need to enter text, such as when storing a name in the Address 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:

ABC mode

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

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, pressing the key can enter J, K, or L. However, the T9 mode automatically compares the series of keystrokes you make with an internal linguistic dictionary to determine the most likely word, thus requiring far fewer keystrokes than the traditional Alphabet mode.

Symbolic mode

This mode allows you to enter symbols, such as punctuation marks.

Number mode

This mode allows you to enter numbers.

Add Word

Allows you to add a word to message and to T9.
