SMS and e-mail
Before beginning this section, please refer to the
getting started
section at the front of this guide,
where you will learn how to set up your e-mail
accounts.
you can create SMS and e-mails in
several different ways
When a phone call is inappropriate, or you only want
to convey a short and simple message, you can
send an SMS. Alternatively, send e-mails to arrive on
computers, PDAs or other phones.
Before you can send e-mails, you must set up your
e-mail account – you can learn how to do this in
the
getting started
section at the front of this guide.
1
Press Start. Messaging is highlighted. Press the
Action key.
2
Select SMS Messages to send an SMS or
Outlook E-Mail to send an e-mail, and press the
Action key. Press New to start a new SMS
message or e-mail.
3
The To: field is highlighted. To write an SMS,
either enter the phone number of the person
you want to send the message to, or press the
Action key to access your Contacts list. To write
48
an e-mail, enter the e-mail address of the
person you want to send the e-mail to, or press
the Action key to select a contact from your
Contacts list.
4
To pick a contact from your Contacts list, simply
scroll to the name you want and press the
Action key. However, for SMS you can only use
a contact that has a phone number saved in the
Mobile field. Other numbers can't be used. For
e-mail, the contact must have an e-mail address
saved to it.
5
If the contact has more than one e-mail address
or mobile phone number, you will be asked to
choose which you wish to use. Scroll to the one
you want and press the Action key.
6
You will be returned to the message screen,
where the contact's details will be inserted in
the To: field.
7
Scroll down to enter information in any of the
other fields required. Finally, complete the main
text of your message. There are two methods
for entering text, and you can rotate through
them by pressing and holding the
key:
*
predictive text input, shown as English T9
standard text input, shown as ABC
To enter a number in your SMS message, press
and hold the correct key.
8
When you have finished entering your e-mail or
SMS, simply press Send.
You can add multiple recipients, by separating each
address or phone number with a semicolon (press
the # key, then scroll to and select a semicolon). If
you are choosing names from your Contacts list,
then the semicolon appears automatically each
time you add a new contact.
Note: The cost of sending an SMS depends on
your chosen price plan and options. You are
charged for each person the message is sent to.
entering text using standard text input
To enter text using this mode you press each key
the right number of times to get the letter you
want. So, to get an O you would press the 6 key
three times. For an A you would press the 2 key
once.
Press # for a space. The first letter of a sentence is
automatically capitalised.
The letter entered most recently is underlined until
you have completed the key presses for that letter
and moved on to the next letter. When entering
SMS and e-mail
letters on the same number key, pause after
entering the first letter and wait for the underline to
disappear before entering the next letter.
To increase the speed at which you can
enter text:
1
Press Start, select Settings, and then select
Accessibility.
2
Under Multipress time out, select the time
interval you want between key presses and
press Done.
save time using predictive text input
This uses a dictionary to recognise certain
combinations of letters and predicts the word you
want to write. To enter text using predictive input
you only need to press the key for a letter once.
So, for example, to write the word
Orange
you
would press 6, 7, 2, 6, 4 and 3. You will see that
the word does not appear on screen immediately –
don't worry, that's how it works.
When you have finished pressing all of the keys,
the word should appear on screen.
