Using T9 Text Input to Type Messages
Using AIM Service on the Samsung R225M 22
Use multi-tap text input
Prior to T9 technology, typing messages on a wireless phone was extremely tedious and required
using the standard "multi-tap" method for entering text. Multi-tapping requires multiple key
presses per letter (for example, 3 presses of the 6 key to get the letter "o").
To enter the letter "s", for example, press the 7 key 4 times; to enter the letter "x", press the 9
key twice. Don't be afraid to experiment. To correct errors, press CLEAR or BACK key. If succes-
sive letters employ the same key, pause a moment or two until the cursor moves to the right.
For example, to type "hello," you press the following keys:
• 4-4 for "h"
• 3-3 for "e"
• 5-5-5 for "l"
• 5-5-5 for "l"
• 6-6-6 for "o"
To enter a number, you must first cycle through all the letters represented by a key. For example,
pressing the 2-key four times will display the number "2."
For basic symbols such as a period, keep pressing the 1 key until the desired symbol is displayed.
