Entering text When using your phone, you will often need to enter text, such as when storing a name in your Phone book, creating your personal greeting or scheduling events on your calendar. You can enter alphanumeric characters by using your phone's keypad. Your phone has the following text input modes: ● T9 mode This mode allows you to enter words with only one keystroke per letter. Each key on the keypad has more than one letter; for example, pressing the 5 key can enter J, K, or L. However, the T9 mode automatically compares the series of keystrokes you make with an internal linguistic dictionary to determine the most likely word, so many words require far fewer keystrokes than the traditional Alphabet mode below. ● Alphabet mode This modes allow you to enter letters by pressing the key labeled with the letter you want. You press the key until the letter or number you want displays. ● Number mode This mode allows you to enter numbers. ● Symbol mode This mode allows you to enter symbols, such as punctuation marks.
