Text entry
You can add punctuation or special characters by these methods:
Press 1 repeatedly while in ABC mode to cycle through some of the most common
punctuation marks and special characters.
•Press * to activate the special characters list. A screen appears displaying the available
special characters.
Use the scroll keys to highlight the desired character, then press Insert.
Important: Some networks may not support all language-dependent characters.
Use special characters in phone numbers
You can enter certain special characters as a part of the phone numbers you save to the phone
book. Pressing * repeatedly cycles through the four special characters available when saving a
phone number.
* Sends command strings to the network. Contact your service provider for more information.
+ Links a 1-touch dialing location to the number currently being entered.
p Creates a pause that occurs when the phone dials a number. Numbers entered to the right
of this special character are automatically sent as touch tones after a 2.5-second pause.
w Causes the phone to wait for you to press Send.
WRITE WITH PREDICTIVE TEXT
Using predictive text input is a quick way to enter text, using a
highly compressed database (or dictionary) of common words
that tries to anticipate the word as you enter it.
Watching predictive text guess a word can be confusing, disregard
the screen until all characters have been entered.
Example: To write “Nokia”:
What you press What you see
Press 6 - N O
Press 6 - o On
Press 5 - k Onl
Press 4 - i Onli
Press 2 - a Nokia
