pressing each phone key until the desired character (as shown on the key) appears in the
display. ABC mode letter options are:

QWERTY keypad.
Tip: Using the QWERTY keypad, also use 123 mode to enter symbols into your message simply by
pressing the keys labeled with the symbols you want.
Symbols — Using the phone keypad, enter a symbol into your message by pressing the

number above the symbol in the Symbols pop-up window.
The current text entry mode (T9 Word, Abc, ABC, 123, or Symbols) is indicated in
