The Basics

Entering Text from Your Phone
You can use the number keypad on your handset or base to enter
text by referring to the letters printed on each number key. When
you press the number key in a text entry field, the phone displays
the first letter printed on the number key. Press the number key
twice to display the second letter and three times to display the
third. Capital letters are displayed first, then lower case letters,
then the number on the key.
If two letters in a row use the same number key, enter the first
letter. Then use the right or left key on the four-way function key
to move the cursor to the next position to enter the second letter.
For example, to enter Movies:
Press 6 once to
enter M.
Use the right key
on the four-way
function key to
move the cursor to
the right.
Press 6 six times to
enter o.
Press 8 six times to enter v.
Press 4 six times to enter i.
Press 3 five times to enter e.
Press 7 eight times to enter s.
Press the OK soft key to end your text entry.
If you make a mistake while entering a name, use the right or
left key on the four-way function key to move the cursor to the
incorrect character. Press the DELETE soft key to erase the wrong
character, and then enter the correct character. To delete all
characters, press and hold the DELETE soft key.
