Entering letters and characters

You can enter letters, for example, when you add names

to the phonebook, write text messages or enter web

addresses.

 

In addition to the way you normally enter letters in your

phone, using multitap text input, you can use T9™ Text

Input to enter text messages and email, for example,

if the input language you select supports this. T9 Text

Input is a predictive input method and is a quicker way

to write text.

Note: If you are trying to enter characters and cannot

find the one you are looking for, it may be part of the

National Characters set. To turn on National Characters,

press

then scroll to National Characters.
