Phone Basics Entering Text MENU OK Selecting a Character Input Mode Your phone provides convenient ways to enter words, letters, punctuation, and numbers whenever you are prompted to enter text (for example, when adding a Contacts entry or when using Sprint Mail and SMS Text Messaging). Tip: If the character modes do not appear after pressing the right softkey, try entering a single character in the entry field and then pressing the right softkey again. Note: Although text can also be entered via the Main LCD as well, it is recommended that you utilize the phone's keypad to enter the message's text. Text entry using the MP3 side of the phone relies more heavily on up/down scrolling and word selections based on your Used word Dictionary and Prediction Start features. To change the character input mode: 1. Within a text entry screen, select Options ( ) to change the character input mode.
