Predictive text input allows you to write messages quickly using your keypad and
the built-in dictionary. It is much faster than the standard mode method, because
for each letter, you only press the corresponding key on your keypad once.

depending on previous mode; or, select Options > Dictionary on or Dictionary off.
Press # twice to change from predictive text mode to standard mode and back.
