3. Text entry

You can use two methods for
entering text and numbers:
• Traditional text input is the only

contacts list, and to rename
caller groups.
• Predictive text input is a quick
and easy method for writing
messages, creating a calendar
note.

accepting a completed word.
• Press 1 to enter a period (.).

mode, press and hold # at any
message entry screen until the icon

write messages quickly using your
keypad and the built-in dictionary.

once.
