Entering Text

When using your phone, you will often need to
enter text, such as when storing a name in
Phonebook, creating your personal greeting, or
scheduling events on your calendar. You can enter
alphanumeric characters by using your phone's
keypad.
Your phone has the following text input modes:
• T9 mode
This mode allows you to enter words with only
one keystroke per letter. Each key on the keypad
has more than one letter; for example, when you
press the 5 key once, J, K, or L displays. T9 mode
automatically compares your keystrokes with an
internal linguistic dictionary to determine the
correct word, thus requiring far fewer keystrokes
than the traditional Alphabet mode.
• Alphabet mode
This mode allows you to enter letters by pressing
the key labelled with the letter you want. Press
the key once, twice, three, or four times until it
displays.
• Number mode
This mode allows you to enter numbers.
• Symbol mode
This mode allows you to enter various symbols
and special characters.
