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:

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

[Aa]
in the display, the phone enters capital
letters first (
A B C

the key (

letters, so it enters small letters first, then the number on the key,
then capital letters.

any letter right after a space; all other times, it uses small letters.
