Text Entry - Nokia 6275i User Manual

4. Text entry

You can use two methods for entering text and numbers: standard mode
and predictive text mode. In each mode the following applies:
• Press 0 to enter a space and to accept a completed word.
• Press 1 to enter a period or press repeatedly to scroll through a list
of commonly used characters.
• Press and hold the specific number key to enter a number.

and hold * if predictive text is on). Press * again to cycle through all available

■ Standard mode
Standard mode is the only way to enter text into the contacts list, and to rename
caller groups.
Press a key once to insert the first letter on the key, twice for the second letter,
etc. If you pause briefly, the last letter in the display is accepted and your phone
awaits the next entry
■ Predictive text mode
Predictive text input allows you to write messages quickly using your keypad
and the built-in dictionary. It is much faster than the standard mode, because
for each letter, you only press the corresponding key on your keypad once.
Activate and deactivate
At any text entry screen, select and hold
depending on previous mode; or select
Press # twice to change from predictive text mode to standard mode and back.
