Concatenated messages
The phone Gm882 supports concatenated messages. This means that you can
edit a text with more than the traditional 160 characters. Before you send the
message, it will be automatically split into two or more messages (up to 5) that
will be sent to the same addressee.
In the text editor on the left of the character counter, which is in the bottom right-
hand corner, a number is displayed indicating how many messages are needed
to send the text you are editing.

(traditional way).
The icon
indicates the numeric mode, that is, each key corresponds to the
number written on it.
To scroll from one mode to the other, press the joystick.
Writing a message in the traditional way
In the traditional way, you use each key to digitise different characters (those
written on each key); see Writing letters and numbers in the traditional way on
page 13.
Writing a text with T9
With the T9 technology, you can write texts more quickly and in different
languages (the number of available languages changes according to the
software the phone is equipped with).
You can also use the T9 mode to write multilingual messages by changing the
built-in dictionary that you access through the special menu (see T9/EMS
menu on page 32) each time.
T9 technology
In the memory of your phone there is a database with a large number of words.
To write a word, press each key that corresponds to the letter of the word just
once.
For example, to write the word horse press (once each) the keys 4-6-7-7-3.
The software analyses the sequence of the pressed keys and considers which
word in the dictionary could be the one you are looking for and writes it down
automatically while you press the keys.
The characters viewed while you write a word can change each time you press
a key; therefore read the result only after you have pressed all the keys and you
will notice that most of the time the phone has written exactly the word you were
looking for.
