Text entry • PREDICTIVE TEXT INPUT Predictive text input allows you to write messages quickly using your keypad and the built-in phone dictionary. It is much faster than using the standard mode multitap method. You can use predictive text to write a message, create a calendar note, and make a to-do list. Note: When predictive text is on, the icon appears in the upper left corner of the display. When predictive text is off, the icon appears in the upper left corner of the display.
