Changing the Text Entry Mode
1. While composing a message, press left soft key Abc to display a
pop-up menu with the following Text Entry Mode options:
• Word
• Abc
• ABC
•123
• Symbols
•Shortcuts
Note: The Shortcuts option is only available when the To field is highlighted. Use the Shortcuts option to
quickly enter @, .com, .net, or .edu to an Email address.
Entering Text Using Word Mode
Word recognizes the most commonly used word for any sequence of key presses
and inserts that word into your message. It’s much faster than the traditional method
of text entry (Abc) and requires only one key press per letter of the word that you’re
spelling.
1. From the main screen, press the left soft key Message, then
press New Message, TXT Message to compose a new text
message.
