Entering Text on Your Phone

When you want to enter text into your phone (for example, a name
in the phonebook), use the twelve-key dial pad to enter the letters
printed on the number keys. Here's how it works:
The phone enters the letters in the order they appear on the key.

For example, if you press the number key 2 once, the phone
enters the letter A. Press 2 twice for B, and three times for C.
If you press the key again after the last letter, the phone starts the

same letter sequence with small letters. If you press 2 four times
in a row, the phone enters a (small letter). Press 2 five times for b,
and six times for c.
If you see the icon

letters first (A B C), then small letters (a b c), then the number on
the key (2). The icon [aA] means the phone starts at the small
letters, so it enters small letters first, then the number on the key,
then capital letters.
The phone automatically uses a capital letter for the first letter and

any letter right after a space; all other times, it uses small letters.
If two letters in a row use the same number key, enter the first

letter, then use CALLEr ID/rIGHT to move the cursor to the next
position to enter the second letter.
