Entering Text
When using your phone, you will often need to
enter text, such as when storing a name in
Contacts, writing a message, creating your personal
greeting, or scheduling events on your calendar.
You can enter alphanumeric characters by using
your phone’s keypad.
Your phone has the following text input modes:
Alphabet mode
This mode allows you to enter letters by pressing
the key labelled with the letter you want. Press
the key once, twice, three, or four times until it
displays.
•T9 mode
This mode allows you to enter words with only
one keystroke per letter. Each key on the keypad
has more than one letter; for example, pressing
the
5
key can enter J, K, or L. However, T9 mode
automatically compares the series of keystrokes
you make with an internal linguistic dictionary to
determine the most likely word, thus requiring far
fewer keystrokes than the traditional Alphabet
mode.
Number mode
This mode allows you to enter numbers.
Symbol mode
This mode allows you to enter various symbols
and special characters.
