Text Input Modes

You use your phone’s text input modes (ABC, Symbol,
123, or T9 WORD) to enter text, numbers, or symbols
into messages, events, and other functions. The current
text input mode is indicated in the lower right part of
the display.

Note: See “Section 5: Entering Text” on page 53 for more information
about text input modes.

ABC Mode

Enter characters while in ABC mode by pressing the
key with the desired characters (such as

for “a”).

Press the key repeatedly until the desired character (letter,

number, or symbol) appears in the display.

Pause briefly and the displayed character is accepted and

inserted into your message.

Press

to enter a space.

Tip: To enter large numbers of symbols or numbers quickly, use Symbol
mode or 123 mode as described in the following sections.

Symbol Mode

Symbol mode lets you use keypad number keys to
enter symbols such as @ or % into a text message, event,
or e-mail address without going through repeated key
presses as with ABC mode.

You press the key that corresponds with the symbol
that you wish to enter. For example, press

for an

exclamation point (!).
