Entering letters and characters

You can enter letters, for example, when you add names to the phonebook, write text messages or enter WAP addresses.

Apart from the way you normally enter letters in your phone, using multitap input, you can use T9™ Text Input for entering text messages,

if the input language you select supports this.

T9 Text Input is a predictive input method and is a quicker way to write texts.

Before you start entering letters, you need to select the input languages that you want to use when writing.

To select input languages

1.Scroll to Settings, YES, Language, YES, Input, YES.

2.Scroll to the language or alphabet that you want to

use for entering letters and press for each language you want.

3.Press YES to exit the menu.

When writing, you can switch to one of your

selected input languages by pressing and then selecting Language. See “The list of options”

on page 14.
