Using T9
®
Mode
T9 Word recognizes commonly used words matching the numeric sequence of key
presses and inserts the word into your message. Text entry using T9 Word is much
faster than the traditional method (Abc) and requires only one key press per letter of
the word.
Note:
T9Word can only be used when the phone is in closed/portrait mode.
