Getting to know your phone 13
Entering letters and characters
You can enter letters, for example, when you add names
to the phonebook, write text messages or enter web
addresses.
In addition to the way you normally enter letters in
your phone, using multitap text input, you can use
T9™ Text Input to enter text messages and email, for
example, if the input language you select supports this.
T9 Text Input is a predictive input method and is a
quicker way to write text.
Note: If you are trying to enter characters and cannot
find the one you are looking for, it may be part of the
National Characters set. To turn on National
Characters, press then scroll to National
Characters.

Before you start entering letters, you need to select the
input languages that you want to use when writing, if
other than the default, English.
