Entering Text; Changing The Text Input Mode - LG S5000 User Manual

GENERAL FUNCTIONS

Entering text

You can enter alphanumeric characters by using the
phone's keypad. For example, storing names in the
phonebook, writing a message, creating a personal
greeting.
The following text input methods are available in the
phone.
T9 mode
This mode lets you enter words with only one
keystroke per letter. Each key on the keypad has more
than one letter. The T9 mode automatically compares
your keystrokes with an internal dictionary to
determine the correct word, thus requiring far fewer
keystrokes than the traditional ABC mode. This is
sometimes known as predictive text.
ABC mode
This mode lets you enter letters by pressing the key
labelled with the required letter once, twice, three or
four times until the letter is displayed.

123 mode (Number mode)

key until 123 mode is displayed.
