Text Entry Modes

You can compose text messages using alphabetical
characters, symbols, and numbers. Each method of
character entry (symbol, number, and so on) is called a

•
Alpha — Alphabetical text entry mode. Options are:
ABC — All upper case
Abc — Initial capital
abc — All lower case
•
Symbol — Symbol entry mode. Enter symbols into your
message by pressing the corresponding number that appears
above it in the display.
•
Number — Number entry. Enter numbers by pressing the
corresponding key on the keypad.
•
T9 Word — Predictive text mode. Press each key only once to
enter the letter of the word that you're spelling.
Your current mode of text entry (Abc, Symbol, 123, or
