You can change the text entry settings whilst composing
a message. Click and hold the # key. A pop-up menu
offers options to change the language, text editing mode
or to add a new word.
Note: To change the language of the dictionary
used while composing a text message, select Options >
Writing language.
Using standard (non-predictive) text entry
Standard text entry enables you to key text in manually,
letter by letter, without the phone suggesting the word you
are attempting to type.
To enter text, repeatedly press a number key, 2-9, until
the desired character appears. For numbers, hold the
key down longer until the number appears. To insert a
space, press the 0 key. For symbols such as punctuation
marks, press the * key and then use the navigation keys
to select from the menu. Press the # key to change text
editing and capitalisation. To delete text, place the cursor
to the right of the character you wish to delete and select
Clear. Move the cursor around the message using the
navigation keys to insert or delete text anywhere in the
message.
Selecting text entry mode
The icon at the top right of your screen displays your
choice of text entry mode and character case. The default
setting is standard text. If you want to change the text
entry mode press the # key repeatedly until your chosen
mode icon is indicated. The modes are:
Predictive mode – all capitalised
Predictive mode – initial capital only
Predictive mode – no capitals
Standard mode – all capitalised
Standard mode – initial capital only
Standard mode – no capitals
Standard mode – numbers only
Standard mode – symbols only
Creating a text message
The character limit for a text sent from your phone is
approximately 1600 Latin characters or 740 non-Latin
characters, ie up to 10 concatenations, including the
recipient's telephone number.
