Entering Text; Changing The Text Input Mode - Samsung SGH-A736 User Manual

Entering Text

This section explains the various text input modes available for entering
characters into your phone. It also describes how to use the T9 predictive
text entry system to reduce the number of key strokes required for entering
text.
Your phone has the following text input modes:
♦
Alphabet modes (ABC, abc, Abc): These modes allow you to enter
letters by pressing the key labeled with the letter you want multiple times
until the desired character displays. You can select all upper case, all
lower case, or initial capital format.
♦
Number mode: This mode allows you to enter series of numbers.
♦
Symbol mode: This mode allows you to enter various symbols and
special characters.
♦
T9 Input modes (T9 abc, T9 Abc, T9 ABC): These modes let you enter
words with only one keystroke per letter. As you press one key on the
keypad for each letter, your keystrokes are automatically compared with
an internal linguistic dictionary to determine the correct word, thus
requiring far fewer keystrokes than the traditional Alphabet mode.

Changing the Text Input Mode

When you are in a field that allows characters to be entered, you will see
the text input mode indicator near the top right corner of the display.
