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
text entry mode. There are four text entry modes, as indicated:
Alpha—Alphabetical text entry mode. Options are:
•
• ABC — All upper case
• Abc — Initial capital
• abc — All lower case
Symbols — Symbol entry mode. Enter symbols into your message by pressing
•
the corresponding number that appears above it in the display.
123 — 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, 123, or T9 Word] is indicated in the lower left
part of the display when composing a text message.
