save time using predictive

text input

Predictive uses a dictionary to recognise
certain combinations of letters and uses
this to predict the word you want to write.
1 Press # when you are writing a message.
2 The icon in the top left of your display
will change. Continue to press #
until is displayed.
To enter text using predictive input you only
need to press the key for a letter once. So,
for example, to write the word orange you
would press 6, 7, 2, 6, 4 and 3. You will see
that the word does not appear on screen
immediately - don't worry, that's how it
works.
When you have finished pressing all of the
keys, the word should appear on screen.
Press 0 to accept the word or press
repeatedly to view the alternative word
options. When the right word appears press
0. A space will automatically be added and
you can start to enter the next word.
Occasionally the word that you want won't
be stored in your phone's dictionary. Press
Spell and enter the word in standard text
mode. Press Save. The word will appear in
the message and will be saved in your
dictionary for future use.
say more with long text
messages
If your text message exceeds 160
characters it will be broken up and sent as
a series of linked messages. You will,
however, be charged your standard talk
plan rate for each text message that is
sent.
