Section 6: Entering Text
This section outlines how to select the desired text input mode
when entering characters into your phone. This section also
describes how to use the T9 predictive text entry system to

Text Entry Modes
You can compose text messages using alphabetical characters,
symbols, and numbers. Each method of character entry (symbol,
