T9
Text Input feature is available only from selected service
providers.
There are two methods for entering text characters and numbers. In the
conventional alpha method, you keep pressing each key until the desired
letter appears. This can be cumbersome when entering a lot of text. For a
quick text entry method, use T9
once to allow the T9 software to assemble the word for you. The T9 database
ranks words by common usage so one entry gives the choice of several
words.
