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

requiring far fewer keystrokes than the traditional
ABC mode. This is sometimes known as predictive

ABC mode
