Abc (sentence case), abc (lower case), or ABC (caps lock):
with this mode you must press each key multiple times to
create each letter. For example, an 'S' is created by pressing
the '7' key four times. An 'e' is created by pressing '3' twice,
and so on.
•
Predictive: predictive text mode is a feature that allows
you to type faster, as the phone tries to predict what you
are writing. To type "Hello":
press the "4" key once, press the "3" key once,
press the "5" key once, press the "5" key once,
press the "6" key once
